"A body is discovered, followed by two skeletons." True, the quote's attributed to "The Swedish Book Blog", which clears up the mystery pretty quickly, but in juxtaposition with that happy, smiling face (a photo of the journalist/book blogger, I assume), the grisly quotation just struck me as bizarre and amusing.I thought this was probably just a fluke-- but after refreshing the page and getting new "headline quotations", I began to think that they do this kind of thing on purpose. (Not necessarily always by pairing creepy quotations with smiling photos, however. Sometimes they just choose an eye-grabbingly odd line for the quotation.)
Next up, there was a surgical masked statue announcing, "Hello. My name is Peter and I have had the swine flu."
(Um. Dude? You might want to pull the mask up so that it covers your nose, too. . . Just a thought.)
Then there's this gem:
"How many insects do you need to make a hamburger?"(. . . Remind me to skip the burgers, next time I'm in Sweden.)
And here's one more dose of the absurd:
"Ladies, send me some pictures of your shaved heads."I had to click that one just to see what in the world that was all about. Apparently, the female shaven head is some sort of new trendy look, and the columnist is seeking more photos of women who have shaven their heads for fashion. . . . No, seriously.
Ah, the Internet. You never know what you'll find next!
