Dying is illegal now?
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 3 Aug 2011.
Making something illegal halts it - see the highly effective anti-drug laws for an example. Living people earn (taxable) money, dead people do not. Expect the Tories to criminalise death any day now.

Except for dole-scroungers, for whom it will be made mandatory.

"Which game do you prefer? Poo or Snooker?"
    Posted by JT on 26 Apr 2011. + (0) - (0) Permalink
Snooker. Definitely.

Just don't ask me to explain why.
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 27 Apr 2011.
The difference is you can poo on snooker, but you can't snooker on poo.

"In the shorter term we have got to stop using our own food as a food supply."

From a famous environmentalist, quoted in The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/02/...

I wonder what he'd suggest we use instead?
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 8 Feb 2011.
They've changed it now to "...as a fuel supply", making me think this actually belongs under Typos.

"How can I improve my toddler appetite?"

Sorry, really can't help you on this one - I can eat the little sods all day long. Maybe you just don't like the flavour?

"Is it okay for a Catholic priest to wear socks with scandals?" - another lovely typo!

Catholic priests and sockpuppet-related scandals. I'm lovin' it!

I think we've got a few of these now. Do we need a "Typos" category?
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 5 Mar 2010.
I suppose we could - they're a worthwhile form of humour in their own right. I originally thought we should avoid simple mistakes as fundamental misunderstandings/blatant stupidity are funnier, but I couldn't resist this one.
    Posted by JT on 6 Mar 2010.
No. They can only have their togas.

When will Simon Cowell learn that just because he owns a record company he controls the entire music industry?

One commentard's take on Rage Against The Machine taking the Christmas No. 1 position in the charts. (This might not mean much to non-Brits.)

I think he might want to re-read that sentence!

When American Idol boots him.

"How do electrons work in the US?"

This was asked in a politics forum, so I think it was a typo for "elections..."
