I almost feel like voting for 7, but I'll follow the mob and go for 10 and 11.

I don’t believe any of them, so I’ll vote for the missing real one (7) and the two cows (14, which I think the site was plural “cows” but I’ll thank that author for the trip down memory lane)

None are believable. I'll go with 2 and 5. I like to swim against the current.

NP -- my mind has gone - sending in two defs. Too bad we can't all do that. :)

#10, because it's at least vaguely plausible, and #13, because of the "rubble between walls" meme.
