Spanish mother and daughter train bacteria to restore church frescoes
To be fair to Reuters, the headline means exactly what it says. But I have this silly image in my head of a woman training a bacteria like she were training a dog. "What a good bacteria! Here's a treat!"
And from "Wales Online", that never-ending source of entertainment: "Top rugby match delayed as groom dressed as princess knocked out by best man on pitch".
Not a headline, but a description of the discovery of a 1,500-year-old ivory box:
The artifact is an ivory box adorned with Christian symbols within a marble shrine. The box features numerous motifs, including a man turning his head with a hand descending from the sky and several biblical figures. This artifact is unique, one of only 40 worldwide.
Emphasis added by me. I would have been irritated if, in the article, it was said to be "unique" and then later in the article they said it was one of forty....but to do it in the SAME SENTENCE?!?!?!?

Now I think about it, as Paddington is a Bear, perhaps growling would be more appropriate ...

WO seems to have an odd sense of priorities.
It also struggles with the concept of cause-and-effect.
Ummmm.....what?

When her head of department was looking for something polite to say about her at her leaving do, he wanted to say, "good when here".
