"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.
