THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO "HMMMMMMM"

[fubar57]

News headlines that make you say WTF until you read the story. Feel free to add.

"Hikers rescued after accidentally climbing North Shore mountain"
How does one accidentally climb a mountain...?

I suspect a Somebody Else's Problem (SEP) field generator.

"An SEP is something we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem. That's what SEP means. Somebody Else's Problem. The brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot.

The Somebody Else's Problem field... relies on people's natural predisposition not to see anything they don't want to, weren't expecting, or can't explain. If someone had painted the mountain pink and erected a cheap and simple Somebody Else's Problem field on it, then people would have walked past the mountain, round it, even over it, and simply never have noticed that the thing was there.

Well that's certainly something, you'd think they may have noticed...

A young woman found a small turtle in an ummmmm... unexpected part of her anatomy... turtle didnt survive... This woman has no idea how it got there and has refused to press any charges... According to the article, I believe she also wished to remain unknown... for good reason I'm sure.

 

[Shinpachi]

Reminds me of this.

Worse than the smell of defeat...

Again, another thread I'm out of, but first, why wouldn't the reporter question the fisherman about his choice of words before filing this story...

I'm superbly out..............

I suspect NOT a direct quote but a typesetter error like:

That last real estate ad was done by a realtor here in Redding back in the 90's and thanks to the internet, will haunt that gal forever!

 

[Crimea_River]

Reminds me of the New Zealand decking ad video. Google it for a laugh.

Florida Today Headline: "Brawl Turns Violent"

And some directions I once received from a friend: "Turn right at the the corner after you get off the freeway and head North. You can't miss it. It's a big building that is painted white and is completely underground."

An old one from a New Zealand Sunday paper ('The Truth', no less), late 80's/ early 90's):
'Aliens Landed In My Garden And Impregnated My Lawnmower'


Where would we be without those Sunday papers?!!
