PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. – In a scandal causing turmoil in the world of meteorology, it has been revealed that legendary forecaster Punxsutawney Phil has not been making his own predictions on upcoming weather patterns, but simply using Weather.com and promoting the forecasts as his own. “It’s pretty unbelievable,” said Punxsutawney resident Claire Bloomington. “I just expect so much more from our rodent role models.” The allegations are sending shockwaves throughout the weather community, which has for years argued that the small, rat-like creature was a more reliable meteorology tool than the advanced radar computers so-called scientists had developed. The scandal over Phil’s lifting…

SEATTLE – Noting that it could really add some life to her apartment, real estate lawyer Sara Peterson, 31, announced she was ready to give owning a houseplant another shot. “I’m gonna do everything I can this time to make sure it thrives,” Peterson said, reminding herself to not throw out the little instructional tag sticking in the pot. “Last time I’m pretty sure I over-watered it, and the time before that I didn’t water it enough.” “After twelve hours of work, I’m just too exhausted to sit down and learn about how much water it needs,” she added. “Maybe…

BARCELONA, Spain – Dozens of travelers enjoying a Mediterranean cruise this week were seen speculating on the nationality of two of the cruise’s obese guests. “I don’t know what to make of them. They seem so out of place,” a French woman was heard saying as the MSC liner approached the Balearic Islands. “I think I can hear them breathing.” While cruises are commonly known for being a week of unbridled decadence, the vibe is slightly different on the Mediterranean, where the focus is much more on relaxation. At one point, the couple in question was seen visibly distraught by the main dining area’s…

FT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Claiming it to be their most advanced product on the market, Rogaine has released a new shampoo formulated to penetrate even deeper into the roots of male insecurity. The shampoo effectively prevents further loss of manhood, and in many cases may grow some back. “After three years of feeling depressed about my low social status and waning masculinity, I finally decided to do something,” said Mark Hanson, 32, who began using the product after his friends noticed his self-esteem starting to thin at the top of his head. “For men, hereditary loss of self-confidence typically starts at…

CLASSIFIED LOCATION – With all of the world’s diplomats and most important scientists, writers, artists and athletes in attendance in an underground bunker at an undisclosed location, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists announced Tuesday that “it’s all good” as the Doomsday Clock stayed at three minutes to midnight. “We’ll all be quite safe for years – decades to come,” said Lynn Eden, a member of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board, her voice muffled through the mask of her protective hazmat suit. “There is absolutely no need to panic.” As an above-ground siren could be heard from the bunker, located miles…

CLEVELAND – With news of his firing spreading throughout the sports world, former Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt has already informed media members of his next steps. “Instead of coaching overseas again, I will return to my roots as the leader of the Easter Island moai,” Blatt said. He is currently on a plane making the 34-hour flight to the remote island, where he will immediately reign over the mysterious ancient shapes once again. Before he got into basketball, Blatt was raised beneath the large stone shadows. He spent his youth with the statues and got his big break on…

DANVILLE, Va. – In a shocking broadcast Friday morning, local TV weatherman Jerry Chapman told slack-jawed viewers that the city should expect to receive eight inches overnight and probably for the next few nights as well. “This entire region is going to take a deep, hard pounding,” Chapman said. “And we all need to be prepared for it.” Response to the comments has been swift, with many Danville residents expressing surprise and disbelief. “He wishes,” fire chief John Mazzanti said through a statement. “We’ll see about that.” Other locals have called the remarks “worrisome” and “highly unlikely.” “Eight inches?” Mayor Cynthia Parish…

BALTIMORE – When Kyle Renald got on the subway for his afternoon commute, he expected to pop in his headphones and listen to his favorite band to pass the time. Instead, he was inexplicably forced to witness the unimaginable: a young woman breastfeeding her child. “It was unbelievable,” a visibly shaken Renald told reporters. “Just a complete disregard for decency. I don’t want to see that on my commute,” he said while ogling a passing 19-year-old’s hint of cleavage. Renald, who spent part of the morning sifting through an online library of lesbian porn, could not believe he was subjected to publicly witnessing…

KANSAS CITY – With a mail route of approximately 690 stops, local carrier Dale Winters says he has become numb to the endless nudity and sexual depravity he witnesses on a daily basis. “I figure 35 percent of the houses have someone at home during the day,” Winters said. “And apparently, those people don’t realize I can see right in their windows and front doors.” An informal poll of area residents who stay home during the day found that the majority of them openly engage in sexual acts (either with their significant others or by themselves) in their living rooms, typically around the time mail…
