MSNBC sent this to thousands of subscribers before realizing they’d been had and yanked the story off their Web site. (Of course the URL doesn’t work now.)

WashPost: Irish small-aircraft disaster
Ireland’s worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small
two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue
workers have recovered 826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as
digging continues into the night. http://www.msnbc.com/modules/exports/ch_infobest.asp?/news/4O2744.asp

How many Irishmen does it take to fly a Cessna?

  1. Two to sit in the plane, and 824 to drink so much the world spins under it.

I saw something similar in Sunday’s Observer (UK newspaper).

The passengers must have been a large group of leprechauns and faries learning to fly a plane for the first time.

Speaking of NBC, the local affiliate mentioned something (I don’t remember what) that happened at Englands “M-16” intelligence branch. Have they not watch enough spy films to know it’s “MI-6”?

I wouldn’t say the Irish drink a lot, but an Irish friend of mine died and his body was cremated. Took 'em three days to put out the fire.

Well, I had just visited MSNBC before I saw this thread, so I thought it was about something completely different.

In the weather section of their headlines, the headline said something about “La Ni±a”. Took me awhile to figure out that they were refering to La Niña, not some strange weather pattern called Ni-plus-or-minus-a. But then, I’m not too bright. :slight_smile:
