I remember once in English class our teacher had showed up a collection of WTF headlines. The only one I remember was "Grandmother of four makes hole in one".

"Powerful Lesbians Create Own PAC"

I only heard the headline read out loud, so I got a very weird mental image.

"Pregnant Olympic Swimmer Is Very Pregnant."

I found that amusing for some reason.

Looking for some stories?

I saw this in the Newspaper today. It's less WTF and more "What's the story behind this. I want tI know"

"Canadian Spy steals Aussie Secrets"

This is kind of a sad one, really, but: "Family Wanted | X'Zavion, 10".

WHAT DRUGS WAS THAT WOMAN ON?? I'm sorry, kiddo, but you have an alien name, not a people name.

[up][up] Well, that puts a new spin on "too big to fail".

[up] X'Zavion. That's actually kind of an awesome name.

Zombie Bees Invade Washington State. A little too early for Halloween, though.

The title on the actual page is longer, but the short-form title of this article—the one that shows up if you Google it or link to it on Facebook—is Nazi Buddha originally from space.

"Woman sets self on fire, jumps out window"

I want to know why, of all the possible suicide methods, she picked "Immolation + 4 story drop".
