Dr T Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Reading through various magazines, newspaper articles/headlines, studies, etc., I often come across things that make me chuckle. I've started this thread for everyone to contribute things you've read that make you go, "duh." They might also be ironic or silly. For example, TV Watchers Watch TV - TheStar.com Statements like that make me laugh. Hope we all find some good ones... Dr. T Quote

Dr T Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Posted August 11, 2006 Those are funny, MBASS. I thought the same thing. Yuck. You can add captions to make them more funny. Often they have good meaning but they just seem inherently funny. For example:It must have been a slow news day in Wisconsin Wausau-Area Schools Not Closing - headline, Wausau (Wis.) Daily Herald, Feb. 16Widely considered the most difficult Olympic event - the 50 meter water sprint: Does anyone know how to attach a picture directly into the post without having to click on it to view it?Thanks Quote
