Which real headline did you think was a joke at first?

Some news stories read like satire but turn out to be completely true. This space collects them.
What makes a great post here:
- The article is real, from a genuine news outlet rather than a parody site
- The headline alone makes you do a double take
- The story is odd rather than cruel
Talking points to try:
- Bureaucratic decisions that defy logic
- Wildlife wandering into places it definitely shouldn't be
- Laws, lawsuits and council meetings with bizarre outcomes
Please double-check before posting: plenty of "too weird to be true" stories are, in fact, fake. Name the outlet, share the headline on the board, and trade disbelief in the comments or the chat.
