[Last Week I Asked You] to Give me a Fake Fact

Last week I asked you to tell me a fact that sounds real, but is in fact fake. I got some excellent entries, and I've selected 10 of them and turned them into memeified infographics that you can share on Facebook for everyone to believe. At the time of writing this, I still haven't actually picked a winner, but I'll have decided by the end of this post.

A little delayed again this week, sadly we've had a very poorly chicken who's needed lots of TLC (not the learning channel, that thing ain't helping anyone) and *fingers crossed* she seems to be making a recovery. After a very expensive trip to the vet, it seems like she has egg peritonitis, which (in the simple way the vet put it) is basically an infection by an egg yolk that's not gone down the right tubes and ended up in the main body cavity. A few warm baths, olive oil (in both ends) and now some antibiotics, and she seems to be perking up. I'm feeling hopeful. But yes, that's this weeks excuse for the delay anyway! Plus it's hot as the devil's ballsack.

Here is my example of a fake fact, although I have made a slight alteration after my brother from another mother pointed out I was missing a pun, but let's get into the rest of the fake facts!

Thank you @gwilberiol for this excellent fact of fakery, although I've had to take a bit of liberty with this one, as I think a good fake fact needs to be short so I've taken the gist of it, and made it Facebook-friendly!

Two for the price of one from the lovely @neenarose! I went with the first one, mainly just because I'm lazy AF and I didn't have to do anything to make it fit into the format. Also, you should go check out her blog

This entry from @reonlouw really made me chuckle, but again I had to make a few alterations to make it fit the format.

So, it's time to announce the winners! There's a first place prize of $1SBD and a SBI share, plus two runner up prizes of a SBI share each. If you want to read more about the Steem Basic Income initiative, which is amazing in case you aren't already aware, then head on over here.

Runner-up Prizes

I'm giving the two runners-up prizes to @foxfiction and @neenarose for their great entries, they were both perfect fake facts that didn't require any effort on my part, hooray! Congratulations to both of you, I've sent 1 STEEM to @foxfiction so if you could send that to @steembasicincome with @neenarose in the memo, you will both receive a share. Any questions or problems let me know.

And now onto the first place prize...

and the winner is...

First place is going to @loosetooth! Again because it fitted into the format perfectly, but also because I really want it to be true. All hail the glorious Lupus hive mind! A big congratulations to you buddy, and your prize should already be with you. I've nominated you for @SteemBasicIncome myself so you don't need to do anything.

Well, that's it for this week! Sorry it's a little delayed again, hopefully we'll be back to normal scheduling next week. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did, and feel free to use these images as you please. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for this weeks challenge which I'll be announcing tomorrow.
