Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

"Bulldog Viscously Attacks Dogs and Their Owner"

I suppose that one's to be expected sooner or later. Viscous bulldogs, though ... didn't Dali paint one of those?

Another headline:

"Woman spends the summer cleaning over 100 headstones at Cemetery to honor diseased"

...although I think a doctor would be better...

Definitely get a doctor. On the other hand, what if they became diseased because of unsanitary headstones?

Makes me think of a Monty Python sketch: "I can fix your vision! No, I can't!"

"China... [has] approximately 355 ships and submarines in its navy, making it the world's largest by size." https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/japan-def ... -1.6954658

There's another way to be the largest besides being the biggest?

Now where have I heard something like that before? Something about being the wettest in terms of water? Oh, I dunno ... I probably imagined it. :wink: :lol:

I guess biggest it could be either total tonnage or count of vessels.

But I am left wondering which of those it might be.

Nothing been posted here for awhile, so, extracted from an article on Gizmodo:

https://gizmodo.com/plantation-owner-ch ... 1851080884

"Langlois and Marchand were found dead on Dec. 1 inside a burned-out car, according to local outlet Dominica News Online."

"Police said the animation studio founder and his partner were murdered sometime between Nov. 29 and Dec. 2, according to the Toronto Star."

Reader in the comments notes that:
"Found dead Dec. 1 but possibly murdered on Dec. 2..."

BTW, I used to be a dealer for SoftImage.

FOX NEWS headline "Georgia inmate executed for first time in 4 years for 1993 rape and murder".

But it won't be his last. You'd think once would be enough. How many more times per year, and how many total over the 4 years (through 2027)? I suppose it's easier after the first time.
