Thanks to the tireless work of genius bloggers, the amazing "Oregon Guy Survives Truck Crush-ening" photo was one this week's most viral images. Even more amazingly, it's totally legit.

"I was so close to both trucks that I could touch them at the same time," crash survivor and human four-leaf clover Kaleb Whitby told People. "It was pretty unreal."

According to The Oregonian, Whitby walked away from the accident needing just a couple of Band-Aids and an ice pack. His truck, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky:

Last week—like every week on the internet—was a good one for fake shit about Marilyn Monroe, including this widely-circulated image of "Marliyn on the beach." Unsurprisingly, the subject of the photo isn't Monroe at all, but a similar-looking model named Sandy Fulton, "busty, curly-haired blonde" being pretty popular look at the time (and always, really).

According to Immortal Marilyn's Marijane Gray, the picture of Fulton actually comes from a book called Bikini Girls Of The 1950s, collecting the work of former pin-up girl and prolific cheesecake photographer Bunny Yeager.

One of Antiviral's most important responsibilities is covering the prestigious "corporate food rumors" beat, like last October's whispers about red velvet Oreos. Back then, multiple sites were happy to declare the cookies a complete hoax, but this humble debunker took a more cautious approach, taking Nabisco at its non-committal word.

Three months later, the company has officially announced the cookies, which will be available on store shelves starting February 2. According to BuzzFeed, they're pretty good.

This baby panda sure is cute! As noted by picture cop @PicPedant, it's also totally fake, which calls the entire vetting process of cuteness safety services like @CuteEmergency into question.

In reality, the photos come from the (excellent) website of soft sculpture artist Melisa Nichols, who creates animal dolls like the one seen above "using a variety of materials including mohair, faux fur and recycled fur."

It is currently unconfirmed whether or not "u can do anything."

Is Bruce Jenner transitioning? We don't know! Jenner himself would probably be the person to ask (or better yet, not ask). What we do know is that this In Touch Weekly cover is a fake, literally the result of the magazine pasting Jenner's head on Dynasty actress Stephanie Beacham's body:

It seems like an odd(ly transphobic) thing to do, really, but then again not everyone has Jim Cooke at their disposal.
