What are mystery clouds?

In the tradition of "What’s a crash blossom?," I present this clipping from the Christian Science Monitor's front page:



The photograph with ominous clouds directs the mind to see "clouds" as a noun, but the story has nothing at all to do with clouds.

Looks like China's standard every day pollution to me.

What's the Chinese character for "SQUIRREL!!"?

I really don't know clouds at all

Our Unabashed Dictionary defines IUD as "love springs internal."

What has the image to do with the article at all? It's just a generic cityscape.

Lazy photo editor!

Barry and the Choom Gang ride again!

Looks like it might be sandstorm clouds.

I guess the order must have come down from PC central at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to the ultra-PC Christian Science Monitor that the Chinese pet can be criticized, just this once, because Hussein's even more favored Muslim pet has just been exposed for what it is.

Looks like, world wide, everyone is plotting to keep the Muslims down.

That is just what this most paranoidiest of all groups need to read.

Headline writing is a peculiar art form. Variety and The New York Post are the masters.

It certainly worked that way for me. I tried to read the headline with "cloud" as a noun and only when I could not make that work did I resort to reading it as a verb.

Imus was recalling his favorite NY Post headline from about a decade past now.

It was a literary tie... it was a...
Never mind.

Mystery clouds deadly clash in western China with 'suspected terrorists

Say that ten times real fast Mr. Chinaman.

campy કહ્યું...

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
