A recent new Yahoo! headline reads: “Australian Authorities Claim World’s Largest Seizure of Ecstasy”

If you were like me, you might have misread that headline the first time around. In fact, if I were to read it differently, I think one of these things might have just happened:

–*Australian authorities claim somebody had the largest seizure ever while on ecstasy

–*Authorities said an Australian claimed to have experienced ecstasy during the longest seizure in history

–The police claim to have seized the largest amount of Australians who’d taken ecstasy

–*Authorities claim to have seized the largest number of Australians taking ecstasy while seeing the band The Police

–*Authorities claim somebody had the largest ever seizure while seeing The Police on ecstasy

–*Authorities claim to have gone into seizure while seeing the rock band The Police, who were all on ecstasy

–*The rock band The Police has gone into seizure while a number of Australians took the largest amount of ecstasy ever

–*The largest number of Australians ever has seized the rock band the police while taking ecstasy

–*Localized epileptic seizure caused ecstasy in the largest-ever Australian policeman

–*Large people seized authority while the Australian police were on ecstasy

–*Ecstatic, large Australian policemen seized all the authority.

–*Or maybe it was just a drug bust. But I can’t tell.
