Here’re some ironic and some strange recent headlines and sentences I’ve noted:
– A 19-year-old anti-violence volunteer was fatally shot in Chicago.
-There Are Bowhead Whales Alive Today Who Were Born Before Moby Dick Was Written.

It could expel more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of material at once – 2,500 times more than Mount St. Helens expelled in 1980, which killed 57 people. That could blanket most of the United States in a thick layer of ash and even plunge the Earth into a volcanic winter.

-Supposedly, three and a half feet of debris will keep a person warm above thirty degrees Fahrenheit. Four and a half feet is good to zero degrees. And six feet of dry, dead debris will keep someone alive at forty below zero.
