Some humorous headlines

Looking at Google News headlines, I ran across a few that I thought were not quite right.



So this is good news.  It is very annoying when people show fake signs of recovery.  The doctors must be very smart to figure what signs are fake and which ones are real.  But in any case, whether the signs are real or fake, it seems like he is actually recovering.

So this headline conjures up images of The Godfather when the Mafia guys left the dead horses' head in the the rich guy's bed.  Where did the ex-president of Peru get the cadaver?  Does Peru have a Cadavers-R-Us store? Should I interpret that when my wife's cat leaves a mouse or bird cadaver by the back door that it is a sign of 'contempt'?

This is terrible! What kind of person would go and murder someone who as been hit by a truck?!  Now the police have to investigate two crimes, bad driving by a trucker and then a cruel and shameless homicide of some probably defenseless pedestrian lying by the side of the road.  This also makes me wonder, how large is a large truck?  A standard semi trailer is 53' long in Oregon (also this is one of the states that allow the triple-trailer road trains on the road), so was it a truck with an over-size load?  This was a particularly bad headline.

That's all for today, I'll post more some time in the future.
