You Can't Make This Stuff Up

Check the name of the new typhoon brewing in the western Pacific.

Now how am I supposed to write a headline about that that won't bring in irate phone calls?

"Longwang douses fertile delta region."

"Longwang whacks off-shore oil rigs."

"Taiwan reels from Longwang's blow."

Or imagine if it turned up in Dear Leader's missile site:

"Longwang flattens No Dong factory."
