You would think that someone qualified to be a journalist would be able to understand the concept of grammar.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I ran across the link on Digg, which has a pretty low BS threshold or something.
Here's the Digg page: [link]
This comment cracked me up:
And finally - what's with the thousands of parrot articles posted by [user] iCEFX? Is this digg.com, news for parrots or something? Thought this site was about technology, not parrots, even if they are psychic.
Another great comment, sadly lacking in sarcasm:
I actually didn't believe this story until I saw that it came from the BBC.

Any NYCistas work near Lincoln Center? David Blaine is getting into his aquarium sphere right now, apparently. I so dearly want someone to break it out of whatever stand its on and roll it down the street...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that where he gets Drowned Alive? That phrase is a dumb one.

Yeah, he's going to spend a week in there with food/water/air tubes, and then he's going to have the tubes removed so he can set the world record for underwater breath-holding.

Why is Blaine doing something any hamster can do? He's really not that impressive.

Hi folks! I'm avoiding grading RIGHT NOW!
Weekend was fun. Saw Robin. Didn't see her for long enough. Ah well.

What does DO stand for in doctors? I am seeing it after names instead of MD.
Doctor of Osteopathy. DOs can prescribe medicines, etc, just like MDs, but they treat patients under a very different paradigm. Their training includes a more holisitic approach and training in physical manipulation (not unlike a chiropractor).

Maybe the newsletter writer had just been stabbed?
with a cutlass? cause that would work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cutlasses aren't made for stabbing. Slash and cut is their purpose.
So maybe s/he had a limb cut off.
