Geek Misreads Headline!

When I opened my browser this morning, this was the first item in my news feed:

Doctor Who Helped Find Bin Laden Given Jail Term, Official Says

Is it just me, or did you also interpret the first two words as a proper noun on the first read through? In other words, did you at first think the headline meant the U.S. government had some assistance in its search for Bin Laden from this guy:

doctor-who_david-tennant-w-TARDIS

Well, why the hell not? He’s always mucking about in British government stuff, so why not U.S. affairs as well? The Doctor somehow involved in the search for bin Laden… who of course must have been more than he seemed to attract the attention of a Time Lord… Sounds like a good start for some fanfic… if I were into that sort of thing…
