O RLY?

I love the use of "potential" unwittingly juxtaposed with "fallen." <cough>

[strigine.livejournal.com]

Inconceiveable!

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

Aha! So they admit it was designed to fall.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Or was the flaw that it stayed up for so long?

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

So that's why they sent the repair squads. The falling action was defunct.

Ya think?

[jood.livejournal.com]

Thanks. That clears that up for me.

Well, golly gee willikers!

Usually cnn.com fulfills all of my ridiculous and/or moronic headline needs. (Favorite today: "Sexually suspect panda gives birth to twins".) I'm happy to see that the NY Times is stepping up to shoulder some of that burden, too.

Alternate headline reads Barn Door Firmly Closed, Horses Seen Off on the Horizon.
