Ordnance found on a York city street!<\/a><\/strong>
\nIt seems that the police were summoned after a man discovered live ordnance in a puddle of water. From The York Press,<\/p>\n

A STARTLED man has told how he found a bullet lying in a York city-centre street.<\/p>\n

Tim Stark said he was unloading items into the MOR Music store where he works in Fossgate yesterday morning when he spotted what he believed to be a live .22 bullet gleaming in a puddle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s right – the ordnance was a lone .22LR cartridge<\/a>, such as is used to “plink” empty cans, shoot gophers, etc.<\/p>\n

This, my friends, is what happens when you vilify (and confiscate) firearms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll bet they made no bones about shooting the whole 9 yards<\/a><\/strong>
\nAn Engadget post about the iPad 2 generated some interesting comments, especially regarding just how broad the knowledge base is of some of its readers. While we live in a Google-rich world, with every bit of information seemingly at the tips of our fingers, it seems that some individuals have issues with commonly used idioms.<\/p>\n

First, the original post,<\/p>\n

Ignore the fact that the iPad 2 is likely just a few weeks away — we’re talking about the here and now. You’ve read our $0.02 on a few of these, but why not throw a few opinions of your own in comments below?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then, some of the comments that resulted,<\/p>\n

just to let you know the phrase is “two sense” not “two cents”<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

the phrase, dear Mike, is “to sense” meaning get yourself some sense before making nonsense corrections.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

No, its definitely $.02 as in 2 cents<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

What kind of bonehead are you? Obviously, the correct phrase is “too scents!”<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

That doesn’t make any sense! The phrase is “my two cents” it’s originally from an English saying “my two pennies worth”. Get your facts straight before you start correcting people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Choosing pets over children – sad article of the week<\/a><\/strong>
\nWhile the myth of adolescence may certainly be a reality, it seems we have created a generation of self-indulgent perpetual adolescents, intent on driving themselves into the realms of PD James’ Children of Men<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rob Bell, oops<\/a><\/strong>
\nPerhaps it was a brilliant publicity stunt, which succeeded in getting a whole lot of free exposure. But I’m wondering if they’ve not shot themselves in the foot for any future work?<\/p>\n

I apologize, really<\/a><\/strong>
