Also, surely this clue should have an asterisk for being apocryphal...! (And as a side note, apocryphal is spelled wrong in the instructions :) Fun idea for a quiz.

It would only need an asterisk if "Psychic" wasn't in quotes.

Miracle Mike's executioner left the brain stem. Should that really count as having its head chopped off?

Yes. If you look at pictures, he certainly appears to be a headless chicken.

Lonesome George was about 100 years old. I got to see Harriet the Galapagos tortoise at Australia Zoo in 2005. She was about 175 years old!

I know this is kinda pedantic, but there is a typo in the quiz description. It should be "based on the 'news story'" not "new story"

I was thinking, what kind of animals do dentists work on, other than humans? I wonder if the lion had bad breath and that's why he killed it.
