You couldn't make this stuff up and convince anyone it was real...

1) TSUNAMI STRIKES CRESCENT CITY

2) GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE MAY SEEK CORPORATE SPONSORS

3) ROGUE SEA LION IN SF MENACES SWIMMERS, MAURADING MAMMAL BITES AT LEAST 14

4) O.J. SIMPSON BACK IN SPOTLIGHT WITH NEW BOOK: "IF I DID IT"

Not to mention...

5) NEANDERTHAL FOSSIL YIELDS BITS OF ELUSIVE DNA
