More Bad Headlines is this week’s Mystery Question. I had so much fun with last week’s headlines that I decided to follow up with more this week.
But first the photo and Scripture. I love this photo that I took from my neighbor’s drive. It was just before sunset and the colors were so rich. And the verse is from my Bible reading last week. Psalm 31 is so rich and encouraging!
And now for last week’s Mystery Question. Below are four headlines. Three of them were actually printed in newspapers and I had one devil of a time coming up with a fourth so Delores Topliff helped me out. (She can’t answer lol) Can you guess which one Delores gave me? Oh, and don’t drink coffee while you read these!
- Utah Poison Contol Center Reminds Everyone Not To Take Poison,
- Minor Refuses To Work After Death.
- The Price Of Down Goes Up.
- Missippi’s Literacy Program Shows Improvement.
And the answer is…#3. Thank you Delores Topliff for that one! Congrats to all who guessed correctly. I could not believe it when I saw Mississippi misspelled!
Now for More Bad Headlines. As usual three were really published and I made up one. Can you guess which one? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library.
- Man accused of killing lawyer received a new attorney.
- Most tornado damage is caused by wind.
- State population to double by 2040; babies to blame.
- Breathing oxygen linked to staying alive.
Okay, Super Sleuths which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a March drawing for a book from my library.
More Bad Headlines is this week's Mystery Question. As usual 4 choices. Only 1 is made up. Can you guess which one? Leave your answers in the comments and I'll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library. Click To Tweet

Hi Diana! We’ll see!
Tough one. I am going with #4.
Author
Ellen, I see a trend developing…we’ll see next week if it’s #4.
I’m going with #4 too.
Author
Goodness, Mary…Everybody seems to be going with #4…we’ll see.
Oh, that gorgeous photo and powerful verse! I’m going with number 3 because I think people aren’t having as many babies as they used to, and individual state population increases are due to migration.
Author
Hi Vera! I do like your logic…we’ll see if it’s #3 next week.
Hard one as all of them were hilarious. But going with 2
Author
Glad I gave you a laugh this morning, Carole! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
I think #3
Author
Hi Karen! We’ll see next week!
Beautiful picture and wonderful verse.
I’m going to hazard a guess that it’s number 2.
Author
Hi Maureen! Thank you nd we’ll see if it’s #2 Tuesday.
Another stunningly beautiful photograph, Pat. You’re on a roll. And, a beautiful verse to go with it.
Headline writers have got to be the craziest bunch at times. I get they have a tight word budget, but maybe a proofreader would help? I think you made up #2.
I finished Lynn Blackburn’s “Under Fire” last night. Another great book by Lynn, as I’ve come to expect. But, is it just me, or did anyone else find themselves scratching their head over the Epilogue? I just didn’t see its purpose. The only thing I could come up with is that perhaps it was to lay the groundwork for her next book.
Anyway, you all have a great day!

Hi Tim. So glad you enjoyed my photo an verse. We’ll see next week if I made up #2…and I think you may be spot-on about the epilogue. I wondered the same thing…
I’m going w/ #3. I don’t see how a state’s population could double that fast even WITH babies.
Author
We’ll see, Delores! Thanks for stopping by!!
I must say #4 is quite dear to my heart these days! 😉 So, I’m setting it aside carefully. Lol however, if you chose that one, then yay!
I decided to go with #1, because I’d hate to be the new lawyer. But I bet Cara Putman could handle him just fine!
Love that vivid sunset…breathtaking and as always, you found the perfect Scripture to go with it!
Barbara, when I read #1 I had the same reaction. I would not want to be that new lawyer. And, I agree with you about Cara Putman. She would do just fine.
Tim, it’s good to on this side of the headline, isn’t it? We’ll let Cara take care of him.

Beautiful picture and wonderful verse.

Pat your photo is absolutely stunning! And as always the verse fits perfectly! Thank you for the beauty you always share.
I think you created #3…I adore all babies, but that’s quite a lot of those sweet peas!
Author
Hi Debra! I’m glad you enjoyed the photo and verse! It’s amazing how an ordinary sunset can be so beautiful! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week!
Good morning, I think it is #3
I am guessing #3.

#4

Number 4 is very popular, Shelia! We’ll see next week.
WOW! What a beautiful picture and a great verse to go with it.
I think the writers of these headlines are masters at stating what most people already believe. Did their articles state anything worth taking the time to read? I am going with #2. I think it could have simply said: Wind damage caused by wind.
Author
Thanks, Edward! I didn’t take the time to look up the articles…figuring as bad as the headlines were, I didn’t need to waste my time. lol We’ll see next week if it’s #2!
Gorgeous photo!
I’m guessing #1.
Author
Thanks, Paula! We’ll see!

Author
