I'm terrible...
Fears Growing for Missing Fossett[/b]
[i]"I came home after work, and all that was left was the basin and the little knobs. But I didn't report it right away. You know, it might have just gone out with some friends, like the toilet plunger or the tub drain. I didn't want to make nothing of it. But it's been days, and I haven't been able to brush my teeth!"

Not a headline, but a classic blunder in an article on illegal border crossing attempts in Cherbourg currently in 'most read stories' here:
quote: The mayor of Cherbourg has vowed to ask ministers for help in dealing with immigrants in his town who make daily attempts to smuggle themselves to the UK.
He came scampering up a side street just before midnight. He paused for a moment, glanced left, then right. [etc]

(yeah, just had to share that image, thanks) on the page with the article was a list of the top Australia national news stories. some were predictable quote: Lesbian IVF case divides community
some disturbing but not unheard of quote: Boy, 6, accused of sex abuse
and some, were just perfect for this thread! quote: Pumpkin's mum wrote of affair
Dear son, I should have told you this long ago. your father was actually a summer squash.... quote: Our boob-job warriors: ADF defends breast enlargements
sub: ample breasted women to protest in front of the capital; record number of male supporters expected to attend
