Albus Dumbledore 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 I also got these in an e-mail and thought i would share them THE YEAR'S BEST [actual] HEADLINES OF 2005: CRACK FOUND ON GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER [imagine that!] Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says [No, really?] Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers [ That'll stop 'em. ] Is There a Ring of Debris around Uranus? [Not if I wipe thoroughly!] Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over [What a guy!] Miners Refuse to Work after Death [No-good-for-nothing lazy so-and-sos!] Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant [see if that works any better than a fair trial!] War Dims Hope for Peace [i can see where it might have that effect!] If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last Awhile [You think?] Cold Wave Linked to Temperatures [Who would have thought!] Enfield (London) Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide [They may be on to something!] Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges ! [You mean there's something stronger than duct tape?] Man Struck By Lightning: Faces Battery Charge [he probably IS the battery charge!] New Study of Obesity Looks for Larger Test Group [Weren't they fat enough?!] Astronaut Takes Blame for Gas in Spacecraft [That's what he gets for eating those beans!] Kids Make Nutritious Snacks [Taste like chicken?] Local High School Dropouts Cut In Half [Chainsaw Massacre all over again!] Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors [boy, are they tall!] And the winner is.... Typhoon Rips Through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead i think for a few of them everyone will have to read the stuf in the [ ]'s to actually get a laugh off of it!

Dragonfly 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 Very interesting indeed. I enjoyed reading most of those headlines. 'Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors' is one of the most funny headlines I should say?By the way, where did you get these headlines? English is such a wonderful language that when the atmosphere is already created those headlines will actually make senses but when we have no background to understand they can only make non-sense and leave us laugh out loud.

rvalkass 5 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 Wonderful find. I remember a few I heard a while ago. One of my favourites was "Famous Painting Found By Tree"! It seems that the editors of newspaper articles aren't really thinking the headlines through Still, it gives us a laugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
