On a lighter note: I think I can assure you that among the more unlikely headlines I ever expected to read in my life, 'Porpoises rescue Dick Van Dyke' ranks very highly.
I'm rather at a loss for words on this one.

What do women want?
This is a question that has baffled generations. It occurred to me while reading an article on European women who apparently fall in love with -- and sometimes marry -- American death row inmates. (Via Andrew.)
A German woman who runs a guest house near death row in Texas put it this way:
Ah, 'interesting'.
Maybe that's what makes Chris Brown so 'interesting', at least to the tabloid press. I mean, he never killed anyone so far as I know, but he seems to have beaten up his girlfriend pretty good.
But now he wants to make that up. Sort of.
Momentary pause: 'What transpired as far as me'... What kind of English is this, exactly? OK, onward; it gets better:
Talk about restorative justice! I'm sure some fancy footwork will make your victim feel much better.
On the other hand, there's a woman who runs a guest house in Texas who may find you...um...'interesting'.
Jerk.

"I think violence is very interesting," she said. "Most normal men are boring, but if you are in a relationship with a violent man, you have something to tell others and ... you are interesting, too."
Ah, 'interesting'.

I want to understand my feelings. I want to find out what really transpired as far as me that night.
Momentary pause: 'What transpired as far as me'... What kind of English is this, exactly? OK, onward; it gets better:
If I do [have a problem], I will work with my counselor and hopefully channel my anger into something like dancing.

Celebrity plaything
The Wife insists that we remedy a serious injustice.
We think that The Mail was very unfair today.
The article's title says it all: 'Botox is turning Nicole Kidman into a "bat face", says cosmetic guru'.
The evidence:
This is unjust. To the bat.
We think, if anything, Nicole resembles a piece of flesh-coloured PVC with attached hair-like tufts created sometime -- we're guessing here -- around 1960.
The evidence:

OK. You may go about your business.
