I noted a headline in the Metro section of The Oregonian from May 31st. It read:

Portland Cases Fuel Rights Debate

Of course, you can read the story above with the third word as the verb as intended. Of course, with the second word as the verb, it becomes a story of the shady criminal type named Portland who's been seen surreptitiously observing the grounds of the Fuel Rights Debate. Or maybe the fourth word is the verb, and the "Portland Cases" company has produced a new fuel which has restored balance to the ongoing debate.

Or the fifth word could be the verb, which would mean that the rights to the fuel made by the Portland Cases company are debating.

Or... hmm, how does one "portland"?
