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

Mars Spiders Swarm Inca City!

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.
