Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Adventures in Headline Writing! -- Honda spurns growth in Lincoln

The whole story is about how the Honda plant outside of Talladega is causing a boom in home construction and real estate values.

Funny how one little "n" can make such a difference in meaning.

And now for something compleatly different...

Free online science journal may imperil subscription organs

Well, wouldn't you know it!! I just bought a three year subscription for this pancreas from that kid who came by last week, and I still have over a year left on my spleen.

I realize that organ is a synonym for a form of communication, but surely there was a better word to use for the headline.
