Not a headline proper, but from the BBC:
quote: A spider appeared on Pope Benedict's robes as he addressed politicians and diplomats in Prague on Saturday, disappearing and appearing again.
Pope imitates Cheshire cat.

quote: Originally posted by lowlands_boy: New warning on 'perfect vaginas'
Strange: I hadn't heard of any old warning on 'perfect vaginas', nor recommendation, new or old, in favour of 'imperfect' ones.
Nor about any male dangly bits, come to think of it! We need to know! The article just says 'male genitalia protrude far further without causing major discomfort'. Discomfort, or not, to whom, please?
And I'm even in doubt as to the definition of vagina, strictly speaking, being correctly used there.
So: some rather confusing BBC headline and article there!
