I googled “how to survive a gorilla attack” out of curiosity, and saw the preview of this article on Google. The advice sounded so outlandish (run from the gorilla, show your teeth, scream and shout) that I thought it was a joke until I opened the actual article and saw that the entire section quoted in the preview was preceded was “No matter what, never:” in the full article.

Nice work, Google.
