this headline made me laugh:

CORRECTED-Hurricane Ivan sweeps towards Jamaica

I know, I know, it was almost certainly something like the speed of the wind or something but the idea that Reuters had somehow mistaken warned, say, Jameroqui (or however they spell their name - someone once said it's an African language that means "sounds like Stevie Wonder") that death was nigh ("sorry about the start" said in the queen's best english) and that they forgot to warn a former colony of it's impending doom (which a few cholera epidemics should have hinted at years ago) makes me snicker.

I dunno, maybe they used a verb less evocative than sweep (storms? rushes? moves?) I imagine the dulled pencil of the foreign correspontant crossing out the rejected words as the winds pick up - all of this instead of working...
