Weird headlines (part 2)

It's time for another round-up of weird and wonderful headlines, with this week's headlines featuring chickens, submarines and 'anonymous' quotes...

1) 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'


If you have any information as to why the chicken crossed the road, please inform the police.

Is this some kind of joke? No, it's a real headline which appeared on the BBC website.


To be fair, it's better journalism than you usually find on the BBC website.

Why did the chicken cross the road?



2) Musician goes too far


I've never been a fan of his music, but this is out of line...


I wonder, did they call 'The Police'?



3) Strange statistics


I would have thought it would have dropped off significantly after age 19?





4) Speling improovemunt


There's still plenty of room for improvement if you ask me...


Too bad this reporter wasn't signed up to the literacy program!



5) Strategic excellence


Those sneaky Chinese!

6) He who shall remain nameless named.


Finally, strictly speaking this last one isn't technically a headline, but I've bent the rules to include it due to the stupidity of the reporter...


Out of respect for Tom McEldroon's wishes, we won't be publishing his name.
