      “wooden spoon only thing… that not giving him cancer”

      it should be that is not / that’s not / not. ‘that not’ is nonsense with a singular subject.

          you’re right, that looks like i had a stroke

          headline should read “Wooden Spoon Only Thing In Man’s Life Not Giving Him Cancer”. “That not giving” is grammatically incorrect.
