16 amused me greatly, 29 is pretty good too. I'm also giggling like a schoolgirl over 11.
The fact that 34 basically admits that the story was posted to generate hits is impressively sad.

I have witnessed people taking Onion articles as factual truth... people who are young enough to freakin' well know better.

Damn, its the people that when told that The Onion is a comedy site, but still continue to argue their point that's the worst. The line, " its your opinion that its fake" somehow keeps coming up, but I guess we'll have to put that down to these people being future Darwin Award winners.

I liked the outrage of people learning that there were those who didn't know the dance steps to the National Anthem.
The amazement of people finding out that there was a star in the center of the solar system was also good.
