UPDATE 10am: I’ve put the answers in after the jump
Kevin Rudd just posted this on his Twitter page:
“Don’t tell Swanny about the birthday cake. He is not on Twitter so won’t know about the surprise!” (Sorry if you’re reading this Mr Swan).
Has the Prime Minister jumped the shark? What’s next? “OMG - you should have been in Cabinet - epic fail from Swanny on interest rates.”
Here’s ten real Kevin Rudd Tweets and ten fakes - can you spot the difference? We’ll post the answers in the morning.

It's a Sydney thing, but 95.3FM... Why? It used to be all Bohemian Rhapsody and Walk this Way; now it's Father to Son and Country Road. Wah.
