MSNBC article full of typos...
Edited on Thu Jun-17-04 05:43 PM by arcos
This is weird... they sort of look like typos but they are real words too... check it out:

"We did say there were numerous contacts between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, for example, Iraqi intelligence agents met with (Osaka) bin Laden, the head of al-Qaida in the Sudan."

Osaka bin Laden???

"Although bin Laden asked for help from Iraq in the mid-1990s, Sadism's government never responded,"

Sadism Hussein, huh?

"Two senior Bin Laden associates have adamantly denied that any ties existed between al-Qaidaspaceman and Iraq."

Al-Qaeda space man?!?! Are they aliens now??

It will probably be gone soon... so check it out. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5233810/


on edit:

It's gone now, but I have a screenshot.

2. Looks normal to me
May I ask what drugs you are under the influence of currently?

;)

(Just kidding. Maybe they corrected it. But I thought they lifted most of their material from the news wires.)

5. Okay, they're on drugs
BTW: I notice you're using Internet Explorer. I suggest using an alternative. It is a security nightmare, and is prone to browser hijacks, spyware, and endless pop-up ads.

Try one of these:

Avant Browser

htp://www.avantbrowser.com

Mozilla Firefox

http://www.mozilla.org

Much more stable, and both block pop-ups. I have both on my system, but lean toward Avant. It's compatible with IE, and blocks pop-ups. Pretty secure.

Don't uninstall IE, but make one of those your default browser.

Just a friendly suggestion.
