atw: Re: It was Friday a few days ago

I actually got them off the web Janice - but not from the Journalism review - 
at least I don't think. It was soooo long ago. My husband was a journalist and 
they all tried to win the best headline of the year (internal prize no doubt 
related to beer) - the double entendre ones only of course.
I have his collection of Aussie ones and some are very funny but a lot name 
people etc.
While I am on trivia I saw a very old how to manual the other day - written in 
1857 - in the USA. It was superb, although the parallelism was a bit askew at 
times. The manual was on how to write - literally, as it was how to write using 
a quill pen.
The manual had numbered steps and there was trouble-shooting within each step. 
Beautifully hand illustrated of course. I was quite entranced.
Cheers
