Someone Else Wrote These Headlines
Headlines are intended to give a hint at the article to follow, but some people only scan the headline and never read the full material. Those who tend to scan headlines and also tend to take things literally must be despondent at this one:
Just Two Hours Of TV Can Turn Kids Into Obese Adults (Toronto Star)
(Well, that explains it. I think I watched my two hours on August 12, 1960.)
The rest of these must have been written by people on some strange cosmic wavelength...
Hawking's New Hypothesis: Black Holes Dribble After Swallowing (smh.com.au)
(Dribble? And this makes us feel better how?)
He's back...
Don Quixote To Ride Again On Cosmic Rescue (Houston Chronicle)
(I wonder if he dribbled out of a black hole.)
They're back...
Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Back At Number 1 (Roger Waters Online)
(And there you have it. Pink: The color of dribble.)
