A friend of mine who knows of my interest in this kind of thing just sent me a link...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1310875/Whats-lurking-waterfall-Couple-discover-chilling-apparition-holiday-snap.html?ito=feeds-newsxml


Are they so short of news stories that they have to publish utter bobbins like this?
I could look through my photographs and probably find hundreds with objects that vaguely resemble figures or faces. Am I missing out on a chance to flog them to the Daily Heil and earn myself some dosh?

I read in a Daily Maul article that Ringwraiths give you cancer.
So there's good reason for promoting awareness of this sinister watery/spectral hazard.

Twitter users spent much of yesterday afternoon mocking the daily fail by imagining alternative headlines based on the stone ages in #CavemanMail

My fave was:

Why meddling 'scientists' are literally playing with fire.

You're quite right - I mean, The Return of the King was written 55 years ago, so obviously thats not relevant to anything these days - Im amazed they even bothered to base films on them to be honest...

Not only do Ringwraiths give you cancer they're also coming to this country and either take jobs from honest, hardworking British spooks or live off benefits AND they go straight to the top of the waiting list for a haunted house. It's enough to give Richard Littlejohn a stroke (with any luck)

It looks like a still from a bad 70's soft porn flick "Confessions of a Journalist" "He had the most column inches in the paper."
