Slog Tipper Emily believes she's found the headline of the day:

Just don't eat them in African caves - that leads to Ebola.

I couldn't stop tittering as I read the article.

Ho hum. You can find references to "Great Tits" all over English websites without even looking very hard.

The headline looks like it should be a palindrome, but isn't.

When I noticed this headline in my RSS reader this morning, my first reaction was "headline of the day!"

Then I realized the BBC editor was quite deliberately looking for the headline of the day. Once you realize it was intentional, it's not quite as funny.
