A contest to find the most boring of these things began after Michael Kinsley discovered the statement "Worthwhile Canadian initiative." Ian Betteridge names a "law" of these things that states that when they end in a question mark, they can usually be answered by the word "no." Grammar rules for these things omit forms of "to be" and replace the word "and" with a comma. The term "crash blossom," which derives from an example of these things, is a sentence whose syntactic ambiguity leads to misinterpretation. Shocking examples of these things, which often appear above the byline, include "Wall St. Lays an Egg" and "Headless Body in a Topless Bar." In 1948, one of these things that read "Dewey Defeats Truman" was widely circulated across Chicago. For 10 points, name these pieces of text that indicate the content of articles in newspapers. ■END■
