All,

This is lifted from LangaList.  Oughta lighten things up a little.

9) Just For Grins

As a writer, I'm all too aware of how easy it is for errors to creep
into text; and how sentences that seem to make perfect sense may
actually be utter *non*sense.

But that's not enough for me to stop taking perverse pleasure in
these really, really bad headlines sent in by reader Howard H.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please!  These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
