Possibly an inappropriate one for this game, because the headline is, in fact, accurate. But odd. My favorite bit is the comment in the article:
During its escapade, the panther entered another flat where a 15-year-old girl saw it descending the stairs. La Voix du Nord reported that the teenager believed she had been hallucinating after having medication for the removal of wisdom teeth.
Also from BBC (Wales): "Uni rugby remains on hold following investigation". So what are they - fragments of the true Triple Crown, studs off J P R Williams' boots, a tattered programme from the Arms Park? They definitely shouldn't be disposed of!

From BBC website: "King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery train on Holkham beach".
Of course "train" in this context is a verb, not a noun as I originally read it!
Nb: back in the Olden Days there were artillery trains. We British had some, mostly on coastal railways. The Germans had some colossal guns that were mounted on railways.
Although I haven't got a link as this happened last week, and although it wasn't funny for those affected, I had to smile when the BBC reported that the Norfolk Fire Service had been "inundated" with calls after heavy rain and flooding.
Yep. Saw that! - I'm currently trawling through this extensive list of News Quizzes (BBC Radio 4 and 4 Extra; Link), and they often have formidable weird and wonderful headlines too!
From today's "i": "We'll be expecting extraterrestrial babies in 12 years, space nation told". Well, I didn't expect zero gravity to slow things down that much ...
Wapo says: This small Pennsylvania school wants to be the Notre Dame of esports
Being a resident of PA, this caught me eye; and all I can say is "what"???? esports? huh? "Eh"? An 'Our Lady' wanna be?
I must admit it took me a while to grasp this, which is the headline of a so-called 'long read' from The Independent. I really thought this was a (possibly boring) article on a linguistic phenomenon!
'I could well die in here’: The thousands still locked up on indefinite sentences
I think there's a sea creature called a "skate"--maybe something like a manta rey?
Closer to a stingray. Some have an electric organ and they lay eggs ("Mermaid's purses") while stingrays have live young. I have eaten skate. It's OK, but nothing special. I wouldn't eat a manta ray - too beautiful!

Yes, there s. Like dolphins, they can sort of surf waves (dolphins love this and will play games with human surfers alongside), and can give an impression of flying as they do so.
Brian May: Queen won't play Glastonbury without badger cull apology
Brilliant that at her age Her Maj is still up for Glasto, and formidable that she is passionate about critters, and asks for an apology! And lovely that she approached Brian May to get out the message.
The Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Review is always fertile territory. The latest gem is Rubbish service for some in bins overhaul - which sort of makes sense when you read the story but still looks fairly off.
Not a weird headline, but I discovered yesterday from the FoD&WVR (online) that Rachel, the wife of Miles Jupp the comedian, is a Councillor in Monmouth.
Mind you, the Monmouth Beacon (wonderful name, nearly as good as the Richmond Comet) might have told me that too.
Obviously something to be taken up by the RSPCA. As it happens, that's not what your link took me to (this works better: https://tinyurl.com/yytj87lw), but I did espy the unalloyed excitement of "Plans for next phase of path to new railway station".
I have to confess I needed to read the article about cat-fishing, as the porcine mind was boggling at what it might be. If you were fishing for cats, what sort of bait would you use - Whiskas?
And if it was the cat doing the fishing, what was he fishing for?

Anyone else remember the Beyond the fringe item about recording a jingle for "a man's cigarette" ?

It's not just 'people' who are disturbed here, I'd say!
(:boggle:)
A last-minute discovery then!

And in further news, The Independent currently has this rather all-encompassing headline:
Share memories of Ticklebelly Chapel
What makes this story especially suspicious to me is that it’s the plot of a 2009 horror movie...
“Lighthouse saved from falling into the sea with skates”
My first htought :-Why on earth was a lighthouse wearing skates…
Ignore this, or wipe it away, or toss it on the fire.
At least he was "dearrested" for that one. I've not met that word before.

If you're going to give Eagles mobile phones, get them on a better international contract!
Bristol council are now using Daleks as highways engineers

A here's one from the Grauniad:

I hope that doesn't encourage would-be knife-crime!

What can I say? Life in the Marches and west of the Dyke can be far, far richer than the rest of the UK can imagine, as this gem - Former model calls for cat-fishing to be made illegal - makes clear.

Inquiring minds need to know ...
