One-Liners

I love the one sentence article summaries in the Guardian’s RSS feed. Some examples from the last couple of days:

  • Teacake mistake could cost Treasury: Confusion over status of dome of marshmallow on a biscuit swathed in milk chocolate could cost £3.5m
  • Bush writes to Kim Jong Il: US president writes to Kim Jong il, who he once dismissed as a “pygmy”
  • Wallinger takes Turner Prize: Judges praise “visceral intensity” of artist who once dressed as bear

A Few Favourites

  • Bali: Lovely Lake Tamblingan
  • Mother Of All Guilt Trips
  • Never Let Me Go (Kazuo Ishiguro)
  • Only Human (Michael Jackson, 1958-2009)
  • Meeting People Isn’t Easy
