There's a contest on!

So, J and I were talking last night and he was quite impressed with my find on CNN yesterday - 3 crazy headlines and the use of the word 'glop'! He casually mentioned we should have a contest, which he should know better to mention the word contest anywhere near my competitive nature, so this morning - the contest is on!

Here's my find from today:
- 5.5 crazy headlines and 1 inappropriate use of a word!
- I am counting the Pirates as a "half" because I know that there are real pirates and whatnot and it's not really funny...but the beauty of the CNN headlines is that when taken out of context, they all appear to be funny.
- Personal favorite today: "Fanged Pond Creature Confounds Officials"
- Is it really appropriate to use the word "crunch" (so onomatopoetic!) when talking about a teenager who was attacked? I don't think so.

p.s. Are men really allergic to chores?!?!? OH NO!!!!

For the love of all that is holy, please do not let the medical explanation of chore alergy get into K's hands. His mom doesn't think he should mow the lawn with his asthma as it is!!!!!
