How is it that "some newspapers" can be directly defined as a single one, especially a [politics] [politics] rag? More 451/1984? But this subject should not escape without posting some funny ones that were really printed: - TYPHOON RIPS THROUGH CEMETERY; HUNDREDS DEAD - MAN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING FACES BATTERY CHARGE - NEW STUDY OF OBESITY LOOKS FOR LARGER TEST GROUP - IRAQI HEAD SEEKS ARMS - MINERS REFUSE TO WORK AFTER DEATH - BRITISH LEFT WAFFLES ON FALKLAND ISLANDS - WAR DIMS HOPE FOR PEACE - IF STRIKE ISN'T SETTLED QUICKLY, IT MAY LAST A WHILE - COLD WAVE LINKED TO TEMPERATURES - BANK DRIVE-IN WINDOW BLOCKED BY BOARD Last edited by Aramis11; 06/07/06 06:28 PM.
