Stupid headline of the day

July 6th, 2007

Strong 6.1 magnitude quake rocks southern Mexico | Reuters

OK, 6.1 is too specific of a description of the quake to need the adjective “strong.” Could it have been a weak 6.1? If it had read “strong quake rocks” then fine. But don’t say generic “strong” and then highly specific “6.1″ all at once. You tools.

    • I don't live on the moon
      Drink martinis in the afternoon
      I don't pretend to make
      The world feel better
      I don't live on the moon
      No I, I don't live on the moon

    • I need no shelter
      I need no guide
      I'll be alone
      on this
      long dark ride

    • It just ain't fair this
      thing called loving
      When one's still there
      and the other feels nothing
      I would have done anything for you
      I still love you, baby I adore you
