The Importance of Punctuation

The Columbia Journalism Review has a back-page feature called The Lower Case, which showcases newspaper headlines that seem to mean something other than was intended. Here is an example, from the current issue:

"Church member donates organ to St. Aloysius"

That came from The Advocate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. And here's one from the Baltimore Sun:

"Pedestrian deaths largely flat in U.S."

The Oregonian has this:

"Woodburn Police looking for vulnerable woman" 

But our favorite, supplied to us by alumni of The Pulse, a Vancouver pop-rock group of distinction, is this, from Tails, a magazine for pet fanciers:

"Rachel Rae finds inspiration in cooking her family and her dog"
