Impending wars, ongoing wars, wounds still bleeding from previous wars. Figurative wars - on terror, drugs, guns, crime in general.

It is, very genuinely, heart-warming to see that even in such times as these, there is not enough pure evil on Earth to hold back the presses of a well-established reporting corporation from squeezing out stories apparently written by bored schoolboys on work experience.

Feast your puerile brains on these playground printings!

Schoolyard Penis Seen From Space

Two pupils who drew a giant penis on a school lawn using weed killer two years ago can still admire their work from satellite photos now posted on the internet.
Despite the school re-seeding the area, the penis has turned up on satellite image search engines because a photo was taken before the new grass could conceal the appendage.
The unnamed pair of year 11 pupils from Bellemoor school for boys in Southampton, burned the 6-metre (20ft) phallus into the grass as an end of term joke.
Staff, parents and pupils who log on can now see the image in all its glory.

Royal Source

The specialist auctioneer Spink is putting under the hammer a letter from the Queen written to a sick relative when she was 12...
In the letter, postmarked Sandringham, January 7 1938, Princess Elizabeth hoped her second cousin Lady Mary Cambridge would get better. Recalling a ride, she wrote that when having a canter "George said 'enough of this' and nearly tossed me off". She added: "Get better soon and come for some more rides and tosses! With love from Lilibet."
