Sucker

There was a throwaway article in the Age today about the 30th birthday of spam, from AFP. They interviewed somecalled Brad Templeton, and all they can tell us about him is that he "...has thoroughly researched the subject". Not great, but it's a filler article. Then we have this...

"Pete Barnum was right when he said there's a sucker born every minute," said Templeton. Errr... that'd be P.T. Barnum, and he probably didn't even say it. I suspect this isn't Mr Templeton's error - it's the journalist or a clueless subeditor.

On other matters, I'm recovering. Its day 11 and it's all settling down, thanks for asking.
