Default Yahoo! Headline: Pope's Body Moved

I just read the headline on Yahoo!:

Pope's Body Moved

His body moved? He's coming back to life? A miraculous resurrection? (My wife asked, "Is this the third day?")

Nope.

Yahoo! just doesn't use auxiliary verbs in their headlines; it should have read:

Pope's Body Has Been Moved



(No disrespect intended; I simply read the headline and imagined someone interpreting it literally, as written.)

Not as good though as the duplicate headline i once caught on their main page in the news section. Took about a minute or so for them to realize their mistake and fix it.

Whew...............I was worried there for a second. I misread the post. I thought it said Pope's BOWELS Moved. That could clear St Peter's Square real quick.


(yes I am Catholic and yes I am a big fan of JP II, I just have a really gross sense of humor)
