One Last Burrito and a Grammar Lesson Too

So a friend sent this gem of a headline (Hungry suspect caught in Taco Bell parking lot) and then the very next story provided another laugh: Rotten office fridge cleanup sends 7 to the hospital. The first line is "An office worker cleaning a fridge full of rotten food created a smell so noxious that it sent seven co-workers to the hospital and made many others ill." I understand the worker was cleaning, but it doesn't seem fair to blame the noxious smell on her.

See why semantics matters? It does, it really does.
