Headlines that make me go "Huh..."
Yesterday the headline in our local paper was "Homicide Victim Found Dead in the Street." Huh.
So how else would you find a homicide victim?
Alive in the street?
Perhaps "slightly dead with a chance of wormbait by noon?"
It would be like reading in the New England Journal of Medicine that "Many phlegm splattered kids have runny noses." Really? I would've never guessed that.
Okay, this is the second time I've ranted about the headlines but really, doesn't someone read them before publishing them?

That is a funny headline!
(Hello! I'm catching up BTW. Hopefully I get through a few posts tonight.)
Oh that just kills me. They do that on the news here and you just have to wonder if somehow a double dead cancels out one dead so that the victim in question isn't really dead?
