I found this teaser atop a CNN story amusing:

Amidst a deadly heatwave, the last thing anyone needs are gasoline and fireworks. But, certainly, policing would be vital under the circumstances. (The actual rundown of the stories is more depressing than amusing.)

    Ok…but this seems like a perfect excuse to pass on this brilliantly written headline from a NY Times article published last week:

    When an Eel Climbs a Ramp to Eat Squid From a Clamp, That’s a Moray

    Mmhmm. I posted one the other day where the content literally refuted the headline. It’s all about clickbait and ad impressions now.
