Its a great title, but it kind of scares me when people's minds zero in on something so tightly. :o

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

This was a Fark headline last week, wasn't it?

The British tabloids are usually experts at this with greats such as "zip me up before you go-go" when George Michael was arrested, and not forgetting the famous "Freddy Starr ate my hamster"!
Listen to me young fellow, what need is there for fish to sing when i can roar and bellow?

Possibly, I only skim Fark and frequently miss stuff.

Ha! I hadn't head about it until <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Starr">now</a>.

Which leads to this great quote:

"I have never eaten or even nibbled a live hamster, gerbil, guinea pig, mouse, shrew, vole or any other small mammal." Too bad Ozzy can't say the same.

I don't know. The outcome of the Coxhead case in the same Wiki article leaves some loose ends ....

My personal favorite headline - a real one - was on a junk fax we got at our office (I work at a public health department). It was for a new communicable disease reference book and the headline on the fax was:

Available June 1st: Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Order yours today!
Wash your hands. Cough and sneeze in your sleeve. Stay home if you are sick. Stay informed. http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu for more info.
