Truncaderos

Truncation in math can lead to unexpected consequences. But truncation in interwebz headlines can lead to unintended hilarity. Today, Yahoo's helpful local headlines included

Mass. church picnic interrupted by goose...

One would think there has been altogether too much goosing at church activities over the last few decades for that to merit a headline. As it happens, the last word of the headline was

shooting

Knowing that isn't much of an improvement. This proves that sometimes, you should just put the story down and back slowly away.

And dont read the comments on the story either. Goodness there is so much ignorance in this world.

But we both knew that ;-)
