QUOTES OF THE WEEK
It was plainly bloody
obvious that her
marriage was on the rocks
when the interview took
place. She is a Hollywood
airhead. Why should my
clients have to pay for her
bubble-headed rubbish?"
- SIMON McALEESE, lawyer for the Sun-
day Independent newspaper in Ireland, on Brit-
ney Spears's recent suit against the paper for
suggesting her marriage was troubled.

"It was all very warm,
lots of hugs, high-fives,
that kind of stuff."
- Sen. KEN SALAZAR (D-Colorado), on
the post-election treatment of "independent
Democrat" Sen. Joseph Lieberman following
his winning bid last week.
"I'm glad you entered the race-
free zone along with California
and Washington. There will be
others to follow."
- Millionaire MCRI backer WARD CONNERLY,
to a Lansing crowd, speaking on the passage of
Proposal 2 last week.

DRINK OF
THE WEEK
Jameson and
Ginger Ale
Nothing says sophistication like
a highball. It is the drink of noir,
of sophistication, of a dapper life-
style. There are several combina-
tions of liquids that go under this
title, but a Jameson and ginger ale
takes the top prize. You might not
be a whiskey drinker, but James-
on's above-and-beyond smooth-
ness is beautifully complemented
by the unassuming flavoring of
ginger ale. Trust me, this drink
oozes smooth.

Leaving the city for the schools and regretting it
RANDOM WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE
OF THE WEEK
The Dreadnought Hoax
The Dreadnought Hoax was a practical joke pulled by Horace de
Vere Cole in 1910. Cole tricked the Royal Navy into showing their
flagship, the warship H.M.S. Dreadnought to a supposed delegation
of Abyssinian royals.
The hoax involved Cole and five friends - writer Virginia Woolf,
her brother Adrian Stephen, Guy Ridley, Anthony Buxton and artist
Duncan Grant - who dressed up with darkened skin and turbans.
The disguise's main limitation was that the "royals" could not eat
anything or their makeup would be ruined. Adrian Stephen took
the role of "interpreter." The operation cost Cole £4,000.
In London, they revealed the ruse by sending a letter and a group
photo to the Daily Mirror. The Royal Navy briefly became an object
of ridicule and demanded that Cole be arrested. However, Cole and
his compatriots had not broken any law. The Navy sent two offi-
cers to cane Cole as a punishment - but Cole countered that it was
they who should be caned because they had been fooled in the first
place.
