I’ve noticed this in the past, but, well, I was afraid to point out something as humorous if it was a pair of sequential news titles on [CNN.com](http://CNN.com) that were funny when read together but contained tragic news in their articles. I’ll try not to do that, but this title deserves mention: Official: U.S. slowly cutting emissions _Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…_😃 Why not give it a shot? Find a recent funny title of your own on [CNN.com](http://CNN.com) or some other news source. ---

Today from Newsday, via Google News “Police flood New York subway system in response to terror threat” The sad thing is, with all the panicked overreactions there have been, I had to read the article to make sure it didn’t mean what it sounded like. ---
