This is a delightful headline - not for the dismal news it presents, but for its use of words.
These are words and connotative expressions one doesn't see often in simple headlines:
pondersWhat a wonderful verb! It carries with it not just the notion of intellectual contemplation, but a weightier concept. The word itself conveys heaviness. Ponder. It is derived from a verb meaning, "to weigh".
How deep is... abyss?The abyss: the title of a horror film! Unfathomed depth, dark, mysterious... replete with danger! How deep is it? The unknown!
Simply from the perspective of language this is an effective, memorable headline.
Tip o' the hat & a toast to the anonymous writer!
