Apprehending Prawo Jazdy

It appears that, all across Ireland, Prawo Jazdy has been getting driving citations -- at least 50 -- but has never been prosecuted. Recently, the police found out why: Prawo Jazdy is Polish for "driver's license" and they weren't actually writing down the person's name. It's the kind of thing folk ballads are written about ... "The Legend of Prawo Jazdy."

One cold hand

If you are in Pittsburgh and lost a glove, this is the website for you (onecoldhand.com). I guess this lady found a glove and wanted to help it find its mate, and it has grown from there. Neat story.

The value of copy editing

I was reading an AP article about the Super Bowl and it talked about Drew Brees pulling for Peyton Manning and mentioned that Brees was in Miami "at an event sponsored by Visa to teach teenagers about the pratfalls of misusing credit." I'm sure the writer meant "pitfalls" but in my mind, I imagine the Saints quarterback flopping and falling in classic physical comedy pratfalls made famous by Dick Van Dyke and Chevy Chase while talking to college students. "You see, if you ruin your credit, you'll fall on your butt."
