(1) (0) Permalink Tweet From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland... So how many times was he killed, exactly?     Posted by Wrongfellow on 19 Jan 2011.

	Headline: "Juvenile Court To Try Shooting Defendant"     Posted by JT on 3 Jan 2010. (6) (0) Permalink Tweet That one's great too :)     Posted by Moosh on 3 Jan 2010. The idiots at bestfinance-blog.com like to sign up to unrelated websites and spam their doubtless extortionate wares in places where their adverts aren't wanted. If you're reading this, I suggest you avoid them!     Posted by AcevedoHAZEL on 8 Jan 2011.

	"Media reports suggest that 60% of Australia's population is overweight or obese. Other reports indicate rising sea levels. Is it possible that these two factors have a bearing on each other? In other words, the continent is sinking due to the excess weight of the population." (Comment News, Perth, WA)     Posted by JT on 27 Dec 2010. (2) (0) Permalink Tweet ...and they say global warming is a fanciful theory.     Posted by JT on 27 Dec 2010.

	"The weapon was an air rifle, but was in such bad condition that it could have caused real damage had it had been fired."     Posted by Wrongfellow on 3 Nov 2010. (1) (0) Permalink Tweet So, a working, correctly maintained air rifle is incapable of doing any damage at all?

	"These submarines shouldn't run aground. Something must have gone wrong." (British military expert commenting on HMS Astute, a nuclear submarine which ran aground)     Posted by JT on 1 Nov 2010. (2) (0) Permalink Tweet This reminds me of our first ever submission: http://www.whoinventedfoxes.com/submi... Haven't seen much of Fred for a while, I wonder what happened to him :)     Posted by Wrongfellow on 2 Nov 2010. I heard a rumour (online, so it must be true) that he sold this website and us as a job lot to ICHC. He got nearly two quid for it, apparently.     Posted by JT on 2 Nov 2010. Hmm, now where did I put that share option certificate...     Posted by Wrongfellow on 3 Nov 2010.

	"I would like to see the council use some anti-social paint on top of the walls round here." (From Cambridge News)     Posted by JT on 21 Jul 2010. (4) (0) Permalink Tweet I've seen that anti-social paint. There's a little gang of it that hangs around in the park, always drinking cheap cider and yelling insults at passers-by. Bring back the birch, that's what I say!     Posted by JT on 21 Jul 2010.
