The best thing about Fark is definitely its headlines, which is why the site's Headline of the Year contest is so darn fun -especially the one in the Geek tab.
While you can click over to the site to find your own favorite and to see the winner, I personally like "Gene fights cancer, but also causes cancer. What the hell is your problem, Gene?"

I'm a total sucker for a bad pun - so my vote would have to go to: "Bone fragment believed to be from Amelia Earhart discovered on remote Pacific Island. However, some don't think it's her atoll"

Scroll down at the link, and past the headlines in contention, there are links to honorable mentions and the contests for Entertainment headlines and Sports headlines. Then there's the main competition for Headline of the Year: http://www.fark.com/comments/6821550

Seeing Phil Plait comment on Neatorama really makes my day! :)

Oh, and my fave: "I don't like vats full of caustic lye. You paper-makers can't deny: When a guy falls down through an unsupported place into concentrated base, he gets stung"
