Punny stuff
From CNN:
Elton to tie knot in Windsor
Man, how do I apply for that headline-writing job?
Nicely done, unattributed-to reporter.
(for the dense, see the Wikipedia entry for windsor knot)

You see more good puns in internet news mainly due to a different set of spacial restrictions.
When you see good headlines in newspapers it's because a bunch of things went right: Copy came in right on, content editors didn't get too excited with the red pen, layout and edit weren't too rushed for time, the Style-Nazis didn't have anything to say about it. It's tough. This is why the best puns come in the sports pages.

I, too, saw that headling...but unlike you, I didn't pick up on the pun bit. Good observation, Nathan.
