“Shed beats buttocks, bird for top art prize”

6-Dec-2005

Some headlines that turn up in Google Desktop Search’s sidebar just beg to be clicked on. Sure, there isn’t a lot of space for writing clearly in a headline, but they could have at least changed it to “Turner’s bird, buttocks beaten by shed”

I think my all-time favourite headlines are:

Car sucked off by aliens

When the turbulence from a flying UFO was reported to have knocked a car from a road.

Queen injured in dog attack

When the Queen of England was nipped by a corgi.
