Please read thisvery carefully and you'll agree with me that, either The Guardian was able to hide spy cameras in very sensitive places right under the nose of french presidential security.. or they are in dire need of a Spelling Mistress. Laurie, maybe you could get a job with them...


Edit
Oh, no!
I just revisited the site
They noticed the spelling error and they corrected it. Now there is nothing to see. What I noticed in the original version was the sentence
The Guardian wrote:At 41%, they are his lowest ratings since his election - and owe much to his slowness to push through convincing economic reforms and his very public romance.

However the last "L" was missing
:oops:

On completely different line:

25 years and she could not gather enough of the local language, or find someone speaking Malay, to explain her predicament? What about pointing on a map?



And since our Pure Evil master-fun-stumbler has gone AWOL (another proof of her Pure Evilness) I keep the thread active with this news about origami from space (only Japanese could come up with ideas like that)

I think the woman in the first article was merely using that as an excuse to escape her EIGHT children *boggle* It's the only explanation.

Potentially quite offensive but I found it to be amusing. The comments are almost as amusing to read as the video itself.

I must say, "I died for you" has to be to BEST pickup line I have ever heard. I am going to have to pull that one out at some point.

Something tells me there's more to that story than "accidental shooting death"...
