The duh factor.
Found a January 15 copy of the Daily Chronicle the student newspaper here at the U. The headline:
“Gastric acid in crocodilians aids digestion.”
I suppose the purpose of the headline is to get people the newspaper and it worked because I actually picked up the paper and scanned the article just because of the “Is this for real?” factor. Yes. It was for real and yes, gastric acid in crocodiles aids their digestion.
“Romney Backs McCain for GOP Nominee” (NPR)
Really? What a shocker. I thought Romney and Huckabee were best buds.
