Skimming the Star Tribune homepage, I saw this headline: "Bad weather from Idaho to Minnesota could mean potato shortages". What I initially read was "Bad weather from Idaho to Minnesota could mean short portages" and I thought huh, that's weird! hahaha...I now know my subconscious is still in paddling season :)

Maybe this should go under the spooky thread but I saw the same headline and had the same word twist in my head.

Ha! I'd say great minds think alike...but I'm not sure that applies to a misreading??
