A headline with a similar linguistic ambiguity that I rather enjoyed a few years ago: Escaped wallaby caught using huge fishing net. (What was it using it for, one has to wonder.)

No, DW is about as socially networked as I get. No FB or Twitter or anything else really. (Other than Monochrome, which hardly counts, and which I know you already knew about anyway :-)

Yes, the titters of Who fandom when this kind of headline comes up is a delight: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/doctor-who-killed-patient-on-operating-table-escapes-jail-733314.html


I actually went to Monochrome the other day, but it turns out I've completely forgotten my password.
