I did a double take on 'Chavez sends army to rice plants' today, mainly because I was anticipating it to be about planting rice and it wasn't :-7

The one that jumped out at me today was 'US navy bears down on pirate boat'. I'd heard of navy seals before but navy bears?!?

I get the feeling you'd like this to be an open list, so now it is.

Currently there's a headline 'Street actress Jones dies aged 75'. Is it easy for British people to misread that? My first thought was, 'Well, we're all street actors aren't we, in our own little way?' And then, 'If it was her profession, wouldn't she be a busker?"

bilby, I read that as "street" actresses being unregulated, illicit, and somewhat riskier to watch than prescription actresses.

It could mean that her performance died. But, 'by, are we all Coronation Street actors?

'Well, we're all street actors aren't we, in our own little way?' !! Nice play, bilby. Was it punintended? I suspect not.
