I especially like the first one. Some people have been complaining that if this were made legal (it is)then everybody would be putting signs everywhere (which is what advertisers already do). My reply has always been, well, then we'd know what everybody felt, instead of having a few corporate media giants tell us what everybody thinks.
Actually, if freewayblogging/public signposting were legal (they are), I'm beginning to think it'd still just be me and about five other people who did it.

My mom developed this allergy late in life. She never liked seafood much, anyway, with a couple of exceptions, so I thought she just used "being allergic" as an excuse to get out of eating it.
Until one Christmas my sister in law made some stuffed mushrooms with crabmeat in them that my mother ate without realizing it. She got very, very sick. Double-blind study!

Iowa, New Hampshire Forging a Compromise?
"The first possible deal has emerged to solve the calendar crisis looming over the 2008 nomination process," reports Fox News.
"With South Carolina Republicans already moving their primary to January 19th, Fox News has learned that officials in Iowa and New Hampshire in both parties and both state governments have begun discussing the possibility of Iowa’s caucus occurring Saturday, January 5th, and New Hampshire’s primary occurring Saturday, Jan 12th -- in order to accommodate state laws that require Iowa to go first, and a week long buffer for New Hampshire before any similar election."

In February, 2005, the N.A.S. Carabinieri broke up a criminal ring operating in several regions of Italy, and confiscated a hundred thousand litres of fake olive oil, with a street value of six million euros (about eight million dollars). The ring, which allegedly sold its products in northern Italy and in Germany, is accused of coloring low-grade soy oil and canola oil with industrial chlorophyll, flavoring it with beta-carotene, and packaging it as extra-virgin olive oil in tins and bottles emblazoned with pictures of Italian flags or Mt. Vesuvius, and with folksy names of imaginary producers—the Farmhouse, the Ancient Millstones.

Not necessarily Marcellina. In February, 2006, federal marshals seized about sixty-one thousand litres of what was supposedly extra-virgin olive oil and twenty-six thousand litres of a lower-grade olive oil from a New Jersey warehouse. Some of the oil, which consisted almost entirely of soybean oil, was destined for a company called Krinos Foods, a member of the North American Olive Oil Association. Krinos blamed the fraud on its supplier, DMK Global Marketing, which in turn blamed the Italian bottlers from whom it had bought the oil. The marshals destroyed the oil, but no criminal charges were brought against Krinos or any other companies. “My experience over a period of some fifty years suggests that we can always expect adulteration and mislabelling of olive-oil products in the absence of surveillance by official sources,” David Firestone, an F.D.A. chemist who was the agency’s olive-oil specialist from the mid-sixties to 1999, told me.
