Never underestimate the destructive power of rickets.

Apparently the terrorists are in the employ of Mr. Burns, now.

Bush was right after all, they do have bioweapons!

What's with the quotation marks around "militants" in the headline? Whether they're using rockets or rickets, I don't think that there's any doubt that they are indeed militants.

why is there an "an" before US in the first sentence of the broken paragraph

Posted by: Elliot at November 10, 2005 11:19 PM

'cause in English, if there's a vowel before the next word, you use "an" not "a."

Posted by: Phill at November 20, 2005 05:58 PM

"An" when pronounced as a vowel, "a" when pronounced as a consonant. So yes, that's a typo.
