I like oxygen. Oxygen has been very good to me. Some of my best friends use oxygen, too. Don't YOU like oxygen?

One of many similarly-worded headlines lately in the news:
"Jay Cutler says a 'chicken serial killer' is on the loose at Tennessee farm"
What has the chicken been killing? Grasshoppers?

Re: Can't read it wrong
I don't quite know what to make of the following other than, as writing, it's more preening than craft:
"Why does it feel like autumn? I am not referring to the weather, which has been almost unseasonably hot in many parts of the country, but to something else one sees venturing outdoors or turning on the television: our great cities emptied out, like clusters of silver birches, save for the tens of thousands of people massed together in stratonic clusters: fallen leaves."
These are the opening lines from a recent op-ed.
First of all, I had to look up "stratonic". I'm pretty sure that the author must have meant "stratified", for fallen leaves cluster (here a weak usage, IMO, but I'll play along) in strata (layers). All my sources say that "stratonic" should either mean "pertaining to things military", or even less likely here, "pertaining to the Greek philosopher Strato of Lampsacus" - so it's a word I'll definitely make a point of never using, on general principle. But even "stratified" is a misuse, for when people mass together, they tend, like the author's imagined silver birches, to do so upright, only in less rooted fashion: strata do not mill about. I think we can also dismiss the possibility that he meant social strata. I have no objections to poetic seasoning in a prose work, but even license has limits beyond which lies vapid nonsense. You can't beat your Muse into submission, never mind with misappropriated gobbledygook like "stratonic". The rest of my objections are about the opening's jagged compositional style and indulgence in ill-resolved contradiction, and its nonexistent relationship to the rest of the article - so I'll leave off here.
Discuss, if you have the stomach for it.

On another forum someone has posted a picture of a commercial product described on the box as
I would post a link to the image but it is huge, and the size attributes of the BBCode IMG tag do not seem to work on this forum.
Does this mean that they are only for 'disposable women'? Are there such creatures?Disposable Women's Razors

Maybe the product is aimed at ladies of the demimonde.

Re: Can't read it wrong
From an article about the possibility of Neanderthal traces in Denmark:
Pastries and all.But well over 100,000 years earlier, Neanderthals lived in Germany, and it is not unlikely that the Neanderthals invented the area we know today as Denmark.

IIRC the cabinet in a Danish baker's shop with the pastries was labelled "viennoiserie" so those Germanic Neanderthals maybe took the tradition with them - but came via FranceNanohedron wrote:Pastries and all.But well over 100,000 years earlier, Neanderthals lived in Germany, and it is not unlikely that the Neanderthals invented the area we know today as Denmark.
