Well, after a short hiatus (Editors got better I guess) it is back!

"Chirac Makes Case for EU Treaty"--headline, BBC Web site, April 15

Is the case going to hold the treaty?

"Police Hold Woman Over Deadly Paris Hotel Fire"--headline, Reuters, April 18

Is that how you make a lady do a slow burn?

"Thousands Circumcised in Morocco"--headline, Associated Press, April 14

Mass Circumcision. What will the Rev Moon think of next.

"WHO: Virus Sent to Mexico, Lebanon Missing"--headline, Associated Press, April 16

Hey Greaywar, while you are looking for Israel, can you find Labanon too?

"U.S. Catholics Want Change"--headline, CBS News Web site, April 17

Actually, I would prefer large bills, but whatever tickles your fancy.

"Deadline to File Taxes Is Today"--headline, Pasadena (Texas) Citizen, April 16

Is Texas over the International Date line?

"U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., married Julia Hart on Saturday in a ceremony at the United States Military Academy, which Reed, a former Army Ranger, attended."--Associated Press, April 17

Damn that was nice of him to attend his own wedding!  What men wont do for love.

English is a very complex language, even for those who practice it daily! I doubt that the supply of whacky headlines will evaporate anytime soon.

That is a classic example of a headline that is really innocent, unless you read it wrong. The complexity of the english language is to blame, but it sure makes for some amusing interpretations!
