Punny...

[ClueLis]

Along with several other science periodicals, I subscibe to Science News. I generally like it because it give me a wide variety of science-based news every week. This week, though, I noticed something strange. The cover article is on trying to stop people from artificially enlarging the udders of cows at pagents (which seems like a rediculous story to begin with). Anyway, the cover read, "Trouble in Dairyland: the Udder Truth." I thought, ok, they had their little fun with a joke, they can move on now, right? When I opened to the story, it read "Udder Beauty: Ensuring that dairy queens are selected for their natural splendor."

Does anyone else find this a little odd coming from a Science publication?

Too bad it wasn't a money publication... then I could have said they didn't have any sense.
