Headline: "7 Hotels That Sell More Than Sun"

I thought this was a clever way of summing up the article. The article is about how Caribbean resort hotels are trying to stand out from the rest, as more than just a typical hotel that sells the benefits of sand and sun. Some hotels are getting involved in stray pet adoption, offering open-air rooms and even offering a recording studio.

Headline: "The steakhouse and sauce, a marriage with issues"

The lede accompanying this article was clever as well: "In the universe of steakhouses, there’s a coverup going on. It has advanced way beyond horseradish cream and bearnaise."

This article touches on why sauce is becoming more popular than a prime, good quality steak. They argue that it tastes the same to eat a run of the mill steak with a good sauce as it does to eat prime beef. I happen to disagree... But the headline is witty.

Headline - Shark Rescues Man Adrift in Pacific Ocean

WHAT? I mean I'm an avid Shark Week viewer, but I still think after all the evidence they give to prove that sharks aren't human hunters, I still wouldn't want one near me. A man named Toakai Tetoi and his brother-in-law set out to fish and lost track of time and gas. They drifted for over five weeks, and Tetoi's brother-in-law died. He fell asleep and woke to a shark banging on the side of his boat and then swimming away. He said the shark alerted him to a fishing boat nearby. The crew saw him and took him aboard.

Headline - One Day, Growing Spare Parts Inside the Body

This headline is sure to grab anyone's attention, because of the sci-fi horror story feel to it. Rather than picturing what the article was really about, I pictured tumorous human bodies with too many organs. However, one click on the article and a picture accompanying the article of a baby post-surgery clears those thoughts. A rare disorder that causes an infant's intestinal tissue to die, usually results in surgery and an appetite that's filled by a needle that must be injected into the bloodstream for a lifetime. The doctor who usually performs these surgeries searches for a way to grow back the tissue and avoid the needles.
