BREAKING NEWS!! 2 people create a baby. 

 

 

It's also listed under "sport". That was never an elective when I was at school... Although, to be fair, I did go to an all boys school. 

Personally, I find the article above it fairly pointless. Pure speculation about a cluster which could indeed be serious, but could also be all points in between to pretty much nothing, but pretty much nothing doesn't make a good headline so lets give people something extra to worry about in the meantime.

Stuff, not a headline - but in the body.

"A total of 158,150 animals have been culled and $174.6 had been paid as compensation to farmers to date."

Not even a 0 in the $, and never realised it would be so cheap :-)

(Who proof reads there? Oh, that's right - NO-ONE!)

The Herald is as informative as ever -

They've published it as an opinion piece...😃, maybe not everyone at Stuff feels the same way.

My sidenote (I've said it before but will say it again) - Stuff won't win my trust so long as they're still showing Outbrain clickable crud.

Good progress made on Habour Bridge strut, NZTA says

Fairly certain that Isaac Newton didn't attach anything to a kite to study electricity.  Benjamin Franklin, on the other hand....

(Come on, Stuff - not only did they live in two different countries, they were barely alive at the same time together: Sir Isaac Newton, December 1642 – March 1727; Benjamin Franklin, Jan 1706 - April 1790)

Sigh.

Do these people actually go to school?

Perhaps they didn’t attend any STEM subjects, or history for that matter!

The only requirement to be a journalist these days is to have a social media account.
