(OP)
The TV headline read "Alex Rodriguez admits to using steroids at a news conference". ![[shocked] shocked](https://www.tipmaster.com/images/shocked.gif)
Now, I ask you, why would anyone use steroids at a news conference?![[ponder] ponder](https://www.tipmaster.com/images/ponder.gif)
Should have read "Alex Rodriguez admits at a news conference to using steroids."
Misplaced Prepositional Phrase... Misplaced modifier...

TOWN TO DROP SCHOOL BUS WHEN OVERPASS IS READY
(Don't bother to search for the original sources - I am sure a lot of these are apocryphal, but funny nevertheless. And of those which are genuine, it is interesting to ponder how many were inadvertent constructions due to deadline time pressure, and how many were quite deliberate.)

"60% of Queensland is underwater", they mean "60% is affected by flooding" and I'm not sure what that means either.
Perhaps 60% of shires have some form of flooding in their shire?

The latest tectonic movement of the Pacific plate has shifted Australia's position by 0.87 deg, so Queensland slipped under water and lifted the other side by 22.7 m. The real figure is 59.749% under sea. The Seaworld is literally under sea. The wharf in Perth is now dry and the Swan river is flowing backwards.

Too right.
As a man on the afore-mentioned Perth wharf said; "it's all downhill from here".
