Woman Found Alive Two Weeks After Her Own Funeral
Max Rivlin-Nadler · 08/24/13 11:16AMThe family of Sharolyn Jackson was sure they had buried their loved one earlier this month. At the viewing, people thought her nose looked a little "thinner" than usual, but beyond that, everyone agreed they were burying the 50-year-old mother. Except that Jackson was found two weeks later, very much alive, in a Philadelphia hospital.

Lauri Apple · 10/19/11 04:55AMWoman Nearly Killed For Looking Like Casey Anthony
Seth Abramovitch · 07/15/11 03:17AMThere seems to be a rash of confusion lately over the identity of the one, true Casey Anthony. On Wednesday, some people seemed to think she was a black man living in a Philadelphia suburb. (His name is Casey Anthony, too.) Now we have the unfortunate case of Oklahoma resident Sammay Blackwell (pictured, right), who does look a little like Casey Anthony. (Not the black man, though — the white woman from Orlando acquitted of killing her daughter. You see how confusing this can get?)
Fox News Confuses Tina Fey with Sarah Palin
Maureen O'Connor · 06/06/11 12:06PMFox News accidentally revealed its deepest, darkest secret yesterday: The public figure known as "Sarah Palin" is actually an elaborate comedy sketch by Tina Fey. This clip from America's News HQ, in which Palin employer/promoter Fox News illustrates a Palin story with an image from Fey's Saturday Night Live Palin impression, pretty much proves it. Turns out Roger Ailes secretly wants to be Lorne Michaels. [Video via Crooks & Liars]
