The Washington Post Express may need some help in the math department after their front page subtracted 6.3 billion people from the global population in a story about the world hitting the 7 billion mark.

The Examiner also had some funny business on its cover this morning.

Is he attempting to escape the rising floods in Bangkok or…arrest?
