The site appears to be wn.com - with wn standing for world news.

Reminds me of a book of misprints and the like from US papers I bought in New York many years ago. A couple were cases of the headline writer not checking beyond the first line of the accompanying story.

So

Man found dead in well

started, "The body of a man has been found in a well-kept condition".

and

Polish singer wins Nobel prize

began "Polish-born writer Isaac Bashevis Singer has won the Nobel prize for literature."
