How do you read that headline? I read it: Omigosh! Kangaroo rats from outer space?! Here?!

That's not it:

I suppose it's interesting and I'm happy for the kangaroo rats that someone is looking after their welfare, but in a way it was disappointing... laugh.gif

Any other headlines you have seen that cause amusing confusion?

My personal all-time favorite appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle. They have a 10 kilometer race every year called the Bay to Breakers. I forget what year it was, but the winner's name was Craig Virgin. The headline?

10,000 Chase Virgin Through Park

It just doesn't get any better than that.

I don't like the idea of being spied on from space. If they can see a kangaroo rat, they can see us. What's next? Microchipping? Welcome to the Brave New World of globalization.

PM, yes, maybe we're the kangaroo rats!
