A train wreck of fact checking

I know I'm nitpicking, but I'm still disappointed--apparently, no one at the Boston Herald knows the difference between a boxcar and a bulkhead flatcar. It wasn't a boxcar that hit the train near Canton Jct., and you can see that clearly in the slideshow with this story. Just get the facts right, please!

They also apparently have a buggy comment program also--I tried to post the above as a comment with the story, but I kept getting an "Invalid security code" error--I'm guessing their webpage doesn't like Firefox.

On the positive side--it seems the engineer of the commuter train in the wreck deserves some kudos.

Not Egg-aggerating

ABC News mentioned that Cadbury Eggs--a product I enjoy (perhaps too much) have gotten smaller. They think it's a way of increasing the price, as many products will do.

I, however, blame environmental problems. There's more bull these days. I think the heightened levels of bull have had an impact on the Easter Bunnies' habitat. This has lead to the clucking rabbits laying smaller eggs, and perhaps--though ABC News said nothing about this--fewer eggs, which will end with fewer egg-laying rabbits if we keep taking as many eggs as we have in the past.
The situation is dire!

Happy Easter.

Like father, like son--it's all Greek to me...

Would the royal palace and outbuildings at Thebes be called the Oedipus Complex? (I suppose not not repressing that question might be called a Freudian slip.)

We may have to Laius low for a while after puns that bad. Call it a tragic flaw.

Perhaps prostitution is exploitation

In the scandal that has resulted from Eliot Spitzer's tryst with a prostitute, the person I feel sorry for is Kristen. Kristen had to have sex with that self-righteous sleazeball for only $4300 without even the benefit of a bag on his head. Talk about an indecent proposal!
