Well Worded, AP

Friday, February 24th, 2006

In an article on an incident at the Olympics, the AP managed to tell the story with somewhat a dry, droll sense of humor:
“The men’s bronze medal match Friday was interrupted by a streaker. Midway through the United States’ 8-6 win over Britain, a man wearing what appeared to be a strategically placed rubber chicken ran onto one of the covered sheets of ice not being used in that session.”

Unfortunate Spelling Error

Today’s unfortunate spelling error:
I was sitting at the desk this morning during homeroom in the biology class I was substituting for, and noticed the paper turned in by a student the day before discussing the benefits of the miracle drug of the second world war, “peniscillin.”
Eat your heart out, Pfizer.

UPDATE 2/24/06 9.34PM: My dad points out that they DID use penicillin to treat VD. Maybe it was more apt than I thought.
