Balls blames parents, computers for English literacy slide

parents, computers

It's a headline, you pompous asshat. It's how they work.

Video games blamed for England Euro flop

Will you all

learn to bloody spell and punctuate, please. I know this is a sports/video game story but that's no excuse.

Tasmanian tumours blamed on inbreeding

Well...

With all due respect, I don't think the progeny of cousins need worry about getting Tasmanian devil face cancer. Surely married cousins would just shrug off such a crack as the usual pisstaking, anyway.

I wonder how many people who are married to their cousins read The Reg. It's a niche demographic.

It says the thylacine became extinct from *mainland Australia* 2000 years ago. In Tasmania which is an island, it survived until the 1960s or so. The pics on that site are from the 1920s. Don't think they had cameras 2000 years ago.

Of course it could all be a hoax, just like everything else on the internet.
