Baffling headlines...

I've still got a rogues' gallery of baffling headlines to put here. Let's start with the local ones (I think this first one is from Lee Huang's Facebook post):


Bam! Bam! Sorry, if you are not in the lucky 60 per cent.
 

That's right, move aside, Singlish. The Brits foresee that Hinglish (a mishmash of Hindu and English) will be the lingua franca of tomorrow, so they are posting their diplomats to India -- to learn Hinglish.

       Huh? The same plane... again? But read the story; it's a different plane!


Um, if they are unseen, how can they be displayed? (To be fair, I'm quibbling and using one definition, ie, "invisible". Another meaning would be "not previously displayed".)


Okay, I'm still taking things literally and imagining that Crowe and his wife were Siamese twins. Why not write the headline as "Russell Crowe, wife, separating"?


?????????????? (I gave up on this one.)

Okay, now for some foreign ones (with one exception, the second item below)...
