Watch that Illiterate!

by Alex Rieneck

Is it fun to make fun of other people's typos? Of course it is. But is it fair? After all, all of us can suffer the occasional slip of the finger and type "n" instead of "m" and sometimes it is even possible to miss the typo. Sometimes even several proof readers can miss a typo. But of course that is rare, and you have to care enough to have proof readers in the first place. But of course, in the modern twenty-first century world, who cares about anything other than the bottom line? Well, apparently even the Daily Telegraph can miss the bottom line if this is any example. Taken from the NEWS.com site there is a huge horrific typo of a word spelt correctly on the line directly below.

How sad is that? Is there anyone up the back who isn't laughing?

Did You Know?

Only the Bedouin really know how to barbecue

You will be very hard pressed out doing the Bedouin people when it comes to celebrating a wedding. The traditional wedding feast is a spit roast.

I've come across a few variations on the recipe, though the following steps give you the idea:


  • prepare one boiled egg
  • stuff the egg into a chicken
  • stuff chicken into a lamb
  • stuff the lamb into a goat
  • stuff the goat into a camel
  • spike the camel onto the spit and set over a charcoal fire (preferably in in an open desert area)

A combination of garlic, coriander and butter appears to be a popular choice in the cooking of this mighty feast.

Now, have I told you about this old woman that swallowed a fly...
