119. You mean the story about the bullets? How short has our collective attention span gotten?
I linked 5 stories downthread; here are a few more:
http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/big_media_photo_editors_apparently_willing_to_believe_anything/
http://o-k.newsvine.com/_news/2007/08/15/898243-bullets-of-war-or-faked-propaganda
http://www.brucified.com/ (check August 16)

The gist of the story is this:

This Iraqi woman was claiming US troops had shot her house up, killing most of her family. She pulled some bullets out of the wall of her house to prove it.

Whichever newswire is running the story (AP?) doesn't seem to notice that she's claiming these clearly unfired rounds had been fired at her.

RW blogosphere goes nuts.
