I would love it if publications could just limit their headlines to one misleading term per story. The rocks are a ‘city’? Sure. The geysers looks like ‘spiders’? I guess. But when you start putting them together in the same headline it feels like your breaking the fourth wall or something

They really expect us to believe this shit!? Those are definitely large alien spiders that are coming to the surface to mate and multiply as they prepare to attack Earth. I need to join up with United Citizen Federation, quick. I suggest you all do the same…

What are the chances of that?
It happens every spring, so chances are high.
Not a million to one then?
If it’s a million to one, it’s bound to happen. That’s just common sense
Duh. It wouldn’t be such a common saying if it wasn’t how to make it work.
