    “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.
