Worst. Headline. Ever.

I don't usually do this, but while I'm waiting for something interesting to happen to me, I'm going to re-post something I saw on Dave Barry's blog.

The headline, culled from Australia's Daily Telegraph, reads:

"Giant Child-Eating Snake Seized"

Fine. It's a big snake. It has eaten a child. Who wouldn't want to catch such a beast?

Well, the sub-header tells all. (emphasis mine): "A giant python capable of eating a small child when it grows to full size has been seized by Victorian authorities."


Sooooo... right now it's pretty much a small snake that's never hurt anyone. Damn you, Victorian authorities, for publishing such a non-story.
