Headline Of The Day – You Can't Make This Stuff Up Edition

Kevin February 23, 2006 Headline Of The Day 10 Comments

I’m guessing that Jurassic Beaver is also a title you’d probably do well to avoid at the video store…

Kevin founded Wizbang in 2003. He still contributes occasionally and handles all the technical and design work for the site.

Well gee, bryanD,

Now, not only do I feel old, but completely out of touch too.

WTF does Russia have to do with this?

I am reminded of a Yakov Smirnoff joke:

“In America, if you walk in on woman in ladies’ room, she screams. In Russia, if you walk in on woman in ladies’ room, you scream.”

Then I followed Paul’s search-term advice above, and now my whole concept of Russian femininity has been shaken. I think I need to go lie down.

I wonder what happens if you google “Jurassic Beaver” in China?

I pity the fool who follows the search engine to this site thinking he was going to get a free sample of Russian Beaver.

Hmpf. Jurassic Otter would have been more appropriate, but obviously the AP headline (or was it MSN) writer had something else on HIS mind…
