Last December I was surfing the web and came across an article about some ice sheet and global warming and such. Here is a screen capture of the article (a higher resolution PNG can be viewed by clicking on the image; the original story is from msnbc.com:
What I found amusing was the first sentence: "A giant ice shelf has snapped free from an island south of the North Pole." An island south of the North Pole ... that only describes every island on the planet! Ok, the precise position was clarified later in the article, and the title of the article narrowed it down quite a bit with "Canadian Arctic," but it still tickled me. Why couldn't the first sentence have read "Canadian Arctic" instead of "south of the North Pole?"
