Title: Sorry about the hoax postings
Post by: Shana A on June 22, 2009, 12:36:36 PM
I offer my apologies for cross-posting a couple of news articles/blogs that turned out to be a hoax. Since they came from normally trustworthy sites, I posted them. While I'm very glad that the story isn't true, the fact that someone perpetrated such a hoax is also quite disturbing. Many lessons learned!

Even The LA Time, The Newyorker, The New York Times get it wrong or even hoodwinked.

Don't feel to bad, Z.

Yeah, there is a reason that the dinosaur media is on a deathwatch, that's just one of them.

Which story was a hoax?

Edit- nevermind, heh. It's okay, Zythyra.  Everyone gets taken in sometimes, especially if it's what one believes is a trusted source.

Be glad that you're not relying on the staff salary to pay for them. :)

Oh your right. I do my own laundry and have learned not to rely on anyone for anything. besides, I'm not on the staff and would never wish to be.

I thought you had to get the Susan's Miles first.  The millage formula looks like something from quantum physics and involves the phases of the moon.  I haven't even looked!

Well as official keeper of the staff garage, I love having all of these vehicles at my beck and call 24/7.  But I can be bribed.

There are a lot more where that came from.  I think that Z gets first choice for having to deal with this crapola.

Oh, and did I mention, I can be bribed?

Last week, Belgian teen Kimberly Vlaminck told reporters she fell asleep while getting a tattoo and woke up to find 56 stars inked on the left side of her face when she had asked for 3.

"It is terrible for me. I cannot go out on to the street. I look like a freak," Vlaminck said at the time.

It turns out she was awake the whole time, had asked for all 56 of the stars, and was "fully aware" of what tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz was doing, the Daily Mail reports.

The lie began when she came home with her newly decorated face and her father was very upset.

What an old fuddy-duddy, to listen to the tat fans here having a face full of stars should be no hindrance on a full and rich life and a good job.  Of course most of them don't work, but if they did....
