You Won't Believe These Weird Tricks They Did With These 20th Century Historical Headlines.

These days it's all about clicks on a website. Everything, especially headlines is written in a style designed to make you click on to read when you're on line.

Of course, it sort of dumbs down what the subject matter is. You know, it's all listicles, and language that always seems to involve the words "weird tricks" or "the most heartbreaking" or "You won't believe."

I found a summary of headlines regarding major 20th century historical events as if they were written today, when ya gotta get those clicks

UPDATE: As you can see from the comments section of this post, I now know the source of this image. It's from xkcd.com which is "a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language."  

The site looks pretty interesting, check it out.

Anyway, click on the image in this post to make it big enough to read
