What I love is that the 7 foot doctors wouldn’t be funny if we had any grasp of how the hyphen should be used. If we did, we’d know that the headline wasn’t referring to podiatrists and not tall M.D.s
Linking cold waves to temperature, though? Now that’s pure genius at work!
“Kids Make Nutritious Snacks” just cracks me up.
Some of them are really sharp, like:
“Man Struck By Lightning Faces Battery Charge”
Postive or negative?
This *is* funny, but I’m sure they’re not all from 2003–I’ve seen the “War Dims Hope for Peace” and, of course, the “Is There a Ring of Debris” headlines in similar messages before.
Yeah, the “Ring of Debris” is old school, but I think that it reappeared because of all the space stuff this past year?
Anyway, just a good chuckle.
