"Chris Quinn spotted a headline in the Guardian on 16 January: “132 year old cowboy’s rifle found propped up against tree in Nevada desert.” The relevant web page now carries one of the paper’s dry corrections: “The headline was changed to make it clear that an old gun had been found, not a decrepit cowboy.”"
