It's a pity that some journalists feel like they must do this to sell a story [In reply to] Can't Post
I raised an eyebrow over the headline as I continued reading on- certainly a misleading headline, though I definitely found the information in the article itself interesting. A more suitable headline would have been just fine.

Ah, well, in the least the headline and story causes little to no damage (unlike other headlines in history... Spanish American War, anyone?)
