Say you have amazing hacker skills and can break into any news reporting service. But for reasons you can only edit the headlines, and at most one word (ideally, only a single letter.) Your motive? Mostly for the lols. Share your edits here.

[The universe’s cock might have bigger ticks than we imagine](https://www.livescience.com/amp/what-are-smallest-ticks-of-time.html)

[2 hurt, 1 missing after possible electrical shark at Arizona lake](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1233637)
