Speed Bump #2,593

Once again, we have an excellent example of near-illiteracy from a newspaper (no prizes for guessing which one, although they’re all equally terrible):

A huntsman spider has been captured devouring a frog after luring it into a fake shelter made of leaves, in Madagascar, Africa. The grizzly spectacle was discovered by a team of scientists (top right) conducting a bird count in the village of Ambodiala, in Marojejy National Park in the island country’s northeast.

Excuse me, but a “grizzly spectacle” would be the sight of eight bears taking it in turns to butt-fuck Kamala Harris*.

The proper word to be used in the above report should be “grisly” — G-R-I-S-L-Y — which means gruesome or nauseating.  Not that that the above-mentioned gangbang wouldn’t be just as gruesome to watch — those poor bears — but the fact remains that there is a massive difference between grisly  and grizzly, as any fourth-grader of my generation would have been able to point out.

Grisly —–>  <—– Grizzly

Also, to pick a further nit, the spider wasn’t “captured”, it was captured on film  — another seemingly-small but important detail.

And finally, Madagascar is an independent nation located on an island off the coast of Africa.  Carrying the DM ‘s example further, it would be like saying that helium-voiced singer Kylie Minogue comes from “Australia, Southeast Asia”.

All that sloppiness in one paragraph.  Is it too early for a second gin?


*I’m not wishing violence upon our beloved Vice-President, of course;  this analogy is purely for illustrative purposes.

Old Times, Good Times

This made me expel some breakfast gin out of my nose:

German officials are being forced to convert refugee camps into the new network of Covid detention facilities, because all the really good camps are currently filled with tourists taking photos and Jews making documentaries.  It’s a lesson that every oppressive regime needs to learn:  Don’t turn your best concentration camps into museums;  you never know when they might be needed again.

Arbeit macht Krankfrei, in other words.

Delicious.

 

News Roundup

All the news that causes universal facepalming.


just one more way for government to give it to you in the ass.

Still on the topic of the Chinkvirus:


errrr “demanded”?  Guess that “Brexit” thing hasn’t sunk in yet.


in so many ways, Professor.


not mentioned:  the typical profile of the criminals.  (I’m not taking bets.)


I predict that this is going to happen more than once over the next few years.


I haven’t laughed this hard since “Dr.” Jill Biden caught her tits in a revolving door.


errrrr no.  You wanted the evil colonialist Whitey gone, so we left.  You wanted loans, we gave you loans, which you pissed away.  Now the Chinks are bending you over the table, and you want Whitey to come back to save your incompetent, corrupt asses?  Ain’t gonna happen.  (See the New Mexico case study in the post below.)


a picture, in this case, being worth a thousand words:

  …I just like the fact that she keeps it in her office and not in the bedroom.

Finally, a bit of news that’s actually educational:

 
for obvious reasons, among them being that she’s probably more responsive in bed than a lot of “real” women.

Here’s a deluxe-model sex doll:

…I think.  I could be wrong.
