   (I’ve been thinking for awhile this link’d be handy someplace.)

   In related news;

   Shrime decided to see how easy it would be to publish an article. So he made one up. Like, he literally made one up. He did it using http://www.randomtextgenerator.com. The article is entitled “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?” and its authors are the venerable Pinkerton A. LeBrain and Orson Welles. The subtitle reads: “The surgical and neoplastic role of cacao extract in breakfast cereals.”

   Many of these publications sound legitimate. To someone who is not well-versed in a particular subfield of medicine–a journalist, for instance–it would be easy to mistake them for valid sources.

   Last night, a boat full of Italy-bound African illegal immigrants capsized in the Mediterranean, killing 700.

   This happened because, after summoning help (presumably by satellite telephone), everybody rushed on one side of the boat when a Portuguese ship came to assistance.

   Stupidity is not curable.

   However, we are told that these people should be welcomed, because they will make terrific doctors, engineers and entrepreneurs.
