For my thirtieth birthday I was given a little tiny digital camera. Sometimes I take pictures with it and put them on upline. Occasionally I scan in old photos and put them up online.

Headline competition (2000)

In August 2000 I stumbled upon a list of amusing headlines - headlines which for one reason or another had rather dubious double meanings. The headlines read as follows:

• Include your children when baking cookies
• Something went wrong in Jet crash, expert says
• Police begin campaign to run down jaywalkers
• Iraqi head seeks arms
• Prostitutes appeal to Pope
• Panda mating fails, Veterinarian takes over
• Clinton wins on budget, but more lies ahead
• Miners refuse to work after death
• Stolen painting found by tree
• War dims hop for peace
• If strike isn't settled quickly, it may last a while
• Cold wave linked to temperatures
• Red tape holds up new bridges
• Typhoon rips through cemetery - hundreds dead
• Man struck by lightning faces battery charge
• New study of obesity looks for larger test group
• Kids make nutritious snacks
• Chef throws his heart into helping feed needy
• Local high school dropouts cut in half
• Hospitals are sued by seven foot doctors

For what may very well be completely spurious reasons, I decided that these headlines would be even more amusing with some visual aids to support them - and so I put out a call to the weblogging community of the time. With hilarious consequences...
