YEAH! THAT'S HIM!

There is a pretty cool spot on the web that lets you do basically police sketches. It is located here. That's fine if you want to try to play with faces, make a picture of someone you know, or see how quickly, and with how few changes male goes to female and vice versa. However, if you really want to show your abilities at police sketching, you have to use this page. That's the good stuff.

ONCE AGAIN, IS THIS ENGLISH?

Reuters in the UK was reporting today that, "Delirious fans shouted slogans praising the players and burst crackers in celebrations across the country as soon as the team clinched the deciding third test in Rawalpindi by an innings and 131 runs with over a day to spare." This is like an e.e. cummings poem.

Delirious fans (shouted slogans)
PRAISING
the players and burst (crackers)))
in celebrations
across the country as soon as
"the team" clinched (the deciding third test) in
Rawalpindi;
by an inning(s) and 131 run . . .
(with over a day to spare).

See what I mean? What the hell is this? Why does every English-speaking country on Earth talk like this except us and Canada? By the way, Syed Kirmani (whoever he is) said, "We have literally brown-washed Pakistan." What kind of homoerotic slang is that?!?
