Dear Stalker

A warm welcome and thanks very much to Hil J for sending this one in via Twitter.

It appeared in The Telegraph last April and, even though the article mentions the gloriously-named Visayan Warty Pig, the publication date wasn't the First of April.

Yes, I checked just in case.


Anyway, not surprisingly, The Telegraph was quick to remove all traces of the error.

Or so it thought.

But it doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to uncover the evidence which remains to this day.

Witch filling?

Here's a very welcome contribution from Chris M who spotted this in Burnley.


Now I'd like to think that, due to Burnley's proximity to Pendle Hill, some plucky entrepreneur has seized a great marketing opportunity.

But no, a quick Google search for 'sandwitch shop' in Burnley (was that a sand-witch hunt?) reveals nothing so it looks as though it's a genuine Burnleyite gaffe.

Shame.

I was quite fancying a toe of frog flour cake and an eye of newt nudger.

Rug rat

Well done CBC News for revealing Lance Armstrong's dirty little secret.

Now we know how he managed to keep his habit hidden for so long.


He simply swept it under the carpet.

Colectomy for WVU

As printed by the Weirton Daily Times reporting West Virginia University's loss of the Pinstripe Bowl to Syracuse by 38 points to 14.


The gain of a vowel caused the loss of a bowel.

An unfortunate end

According to its website, Click is the BBC's flagship technology brand.

Flagship technology brand?

Yes, the brand with its eye on the ball; its finger on the pulse.

And its foot in its mouth.


Hmm. Endgadget.

Sounds like something you'd find at Ann Summers.
