No fooling ... I don't know how many times I've read headlines and wondered what fool wrote em .. and then who proofed them and let them out the door.

every morning before coming here, i read yahoo news. i always wonder if their proof reader is someone for whom english is a 2nd language. it may sound funny coming from a guy who's posts usually don't contain capital letters, but do have an abundance of run on sentences, but it makes me bug out to see news written as if i posted it myself. :argue:
 
Along the lines of the Typhoon headline, I always enjoy the story about the Cessna 150 crash into the cemetery, where they are still looking for survivors, but they have recovered hundreds of bodies...
