Are you a fool this April Fool's Day?

"You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine." -- Homer Simpson.

It's April Fool's Day, which means there may be some publications out there doing some creative writing rather than actual reporting.

It's good fun, unless, of course, you happen to be totally suckered by one of these fiction-can-be-fun pieces.

Here is a pop quiz for you to enjoy this wonderful day. Some of these sports headlines are real, others not so much. Pick which ones are true and which ones are false, then grade yourself.

Let's begin ...

1. David Beckham and LA Galaxy hammered

2. Favre is back for one more

3. Soccer robots compete for the title

4. Nazi orgy scandal causes F1 uproar

5. Toronto FC fans get drunk, puke, at Crew game

6. Build-A-Bear expands to Washington Nationals stadium

7. Bill Gates to revive XFL, expand it to 12 teams False, this one should have been easy

8. Man U fans angry after being allocated anti-hooligan seats

9. Giants, Pats cheerleaders to play own powder puff Super Bowl

10. Travel to Miami, check out fat cheerleaders


Here are the answers ...

1. David Beckham and LA Galaxy hammered ... True, and it has nothing to do with the overconsumption of alcoholic beverages, which likely would have been more fun for the Galaxy.

2. Favre is back for one more ... False, though one student newspaper got some locals all fired up.

3. Soccer robots compete for the title ... True ... who would win if Autobots FC took on Decepticons United?

4. Nazi orgy scandal causes F1 uproar ... True, as F1 boss makes Elliott Spitzer look like a choir boy

5. Toronto FC fans drunk and rowdy at Crew game ... True ... maybe Major League Soccer should reconsider having a team north of the border.

6. Build-A-Bear expands to Washington Nationals stadium ... True ... and who doesn't want to have a cuddly teddy bear dressed in the gear of their favorite baseball team?

7. Bill Gates to revive XFL, expand it to 12 teams ... False, this one should have been easy to answer. Though, you'd be lying if you said you weren't longing for the return to the L.A. Xtreme, Memphis Maniax, Orlando Rage and New York/New Jersey Hitmen.

8. Man U fans angry after being allocated anti-hooligan seats ... True, and Red Devil fans won't be throwing seats onto the field. So sad.

9. Giants, Pats cheerleaders to play own powder puff Super Bowl ... False, joke's on you, totally made that one up ... LOL! Giants don't even have cheerleaders.

10. Travel to Miami, check out fat cheerleaders ... Sad, but true, as the Marlins debuted an all-male, plus-sized cheerleading squad. What is happening to our great national pastime?
