One news page I visit fairly often recently ran - for several days -

" *** elects fat lady premier "

At least that's what I saw every time I opened the page.

(" *** elects 1st lady premier " ?)

Even as written, it seems a bit ambiguous to me; but then headline writing is an art of sorts.

DK if it's so much that I misread this one as that I misunderstood it:

BS: Gas generators -info & opinions?

I facetiously posted that at first I thought, from the title, that the thread was about Spaw.

But that was only partly facetious.   I did - until I read some detail about the recommended generators -- take the title to mean the thread was about machines that generate gas.

I had never heard of such equipment (aside from flatulent humans and other mammals) and wasn't sure if it was some new technology to bypass the Gas. Company and retrieve your own natural gas, or maybe some method of capturing methane (e.g., from your farting cows or your compost heap) to be used as fuel.


It was only after reading some detailed posts that I realized it was about gas-powered electricity generators, not gas-generating equipment.
