"Chimps: Eight flee then return" and "Chunk of park appears missing," April 29

We admit it: Whenever we find inadvertently hilarious, Onionesque headlines in the Star, we cut them out and lovingly paste 'em in our scrapbook. "Steroids just feel too good," which appeared under a picture of Joe Posnanski, was definitely a keeper. "Fruit, commute mix into a traffic jam" and "This marriage went to pot --sexpot" were chuckle-inducing, and "Nuts to you, Mr. Squirrel" (accompanying a picture of a squirrel clutching a nut) was so cheesy that it was funny. However, we totally scored on April 29 when we spotted these two gems: "Chimps: Eight flee then return" and "Chunk of park appears missing." Nerdy, we know, but there's just something beautiful about the unintentional humor.
