Just smashed out these two:
That last one explains a lot about my dating history…
“Autism Linked to Autism”
Brilliant!
I have a couple of issues with the site.
Firstly, sometimes it smashes out part of a headline in such a way that the entire joke was in the original headline to start with, and not in the smash-up.
Secondly, the top headline list seems to be somewhat self-enforcing, since every new user will go there and keep voting up the ones that are already on top.
But on the other hand, the whole thing is just so deliciously silly that I don’t really care.

Smapti:
A few I’ve acquired, some of which sound like they could almost be real headlines;
“Grandfather Picks Up the Joint”
I was reading this site in the breakroom during lunchtime at work last night and had to try to explain to my coworkers what was so funny, but couldn’t because of how hard I was laughing.
One I got was “How You Lost Your VIRGINITY”, which could be a real headline for a study on first times.
I’m noticing some classics in the “hot” category at the moment:
Derleth:
It’s like The Onion , if they stopped at punchy headlines instead of attaching those headlines to overlong articles which just beat the gag into the ground. (Yes, there are exceptions. The headlines are still the best part, though.)
Actually they’ve stopped doing that. Their stories are just a single paragraph now, but the quality seems to be going downhill.

I wish it’d show which actual headlines it got its fragments from.
Weirdly, it does that on mouse-over when you generate new headlines, but only before they’re saved.
