Unfortunate headline zen: so *that's* how the flying nun did it

Someone writing headline copy at Reuters this morning committed a hilarious crime against the English language.
Catholic monks living on an island off the coast of Wales have flown in a satellite dish to watch the Pope's funeral.
Despite the flying saucer image this conjures, the monks in fact merely ordered a satellite dish for the monastery, which was then delivered to their island by helicopter. Link. Screengrab here (Thanks, Liz Upton)
