Put this together on a day off. It crawls major RSS feeds looking for headlines in the form of a question (e.g. &#x27;Is this the Cure for Cancer?&#x27;, &#x27;Is Obama a War Criminal?&#x27;, &#x27;Can Pigs Actually Fly?&#x27;). Betteridge asserted that all such headlines can be answered &#x27;No&#x27;.<p>Answer a few, and if I gather enough data I&#x27;ll share the results!
