Misreading thread titles

Maybe it’s the meds.

Today, I saw this thread on the main page, and recoiled at the thought of a SDMB staff report on shooting blacks. That’s how I first read it, until I clicked on the link. Fortunately, it was about shooting blanks.

A bit later, I thought the Pope died, but it was actually British DJ John Peel, not John Paul.

Have you misread or misinterpreted any thread titles recently?

I misread this thread title expecting a complaint about “Misleading” thread titles.

So, yes.

Yup, same here. :smiley:

I remember that someone posted “Jon Stewart re-signs for Daily Show” or something, and it was both misleading and fostered a lot of misreading. People were shocked, thinking he had resigned, rather than signed his contract again.
