Lessons in Sub-Editing

Some headlines from the London Daily Mail today:

Balls forced to drop plans for compulsory sex lessons at age five

Home sweet foam! Sea spray leaves house blanketed in thick layer of gunk

Muslim woman strangled by her burkha in freak go-kart accident

Pamela Anderson lets her hair down as she staggers out of nightclub in stained dress

Pensioner dies after swallowing his wedding ring without knowing it

The self-shearing sheep that will save farmers thousands of pounds

Either there is more interesting-ā€™nā€™-curious news over there or the Mail has some really creative subs.
