Silly headline of the day

When I posted this funny headline yesterday, I got an email from reader John Markell claiming that his favorite crazy headline beats them all. (Click on the link; it’s not the one below).

    The linked headline is from The Register, a UK technology site that specializes in the art of the prurient headline.

    I’m pretty amused by the linked headline.

    Remember the TV show ‘Newhart’, where Bob Newhart played the innkeeper/self-help book author?

    I can’t remember where I saw it, but my favorite classified ad went something like this:

    LOST. Two black labs. Answer to the name Darrell. Call XXX-XXXX and ask for Larry.

    13 Suns,

    We’ll have a charmer of a classified ad up tomorrow.

    Speaking of headlines, how do you all feel about TSA’s announcement today that starting April 25th you can again take a small knife aboard an airplane, providing its no longer than 2.5 inches long and no wider than 1/2 an inch. That is almost as shocking to me as finding out on September 12th 2001 that you could take such a thing aboard an airliner back then. My question on that day was what the hell were the metal detectors and pocket emptying for anyway? I mean the obvious answer I guess is guns, but why would anyone be allowed to take a potentially deadly weapon on board with them, then or now?
    Meanwhile, your 80 year old mother gets strip searched and your three year old gets patted down and frisked. WTF?
