25 Puzzling Headlines From Across This Nutty World

Ever since the announcement that King Charles III will be appearing on Australian $5 notes, Aussies have been vocal about who they think should really be on their money. The top contender? Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin (yes, seriously). But whether it’s because of an undying love for the late animal expert or a hatred of the British monarchy, one thing is certain: Australians don’t want King Charles on their money. In other news, a man who made bomb threats to Merriam-Webster dictionary company over updated gender pronouns plead guilty in federal court this week. Prosecutors say he threatened “a mass shooting scenario" and said he would kill employees if they did not change their definitions back. And finally, in what can only be described as peak Florida: Governor Ron DeSantis tricked Venezuelan migrant workers onto a plane bound for Martha’s Vineyard so he could stick it to liberals criticizing his treatment of migrants at the southern border.
