Thursday's random reads (it is Thursday, yes?)
Best football journalism of all time:Asked for 100 words on Recreativo's crashingly dull 1-0 win over Real Sociedad, Marca's José Luis Hurtado wrote: "Maradona, Di Stéfano, Pelé, Cruyff, Van Basten, Gullit, Zidane, Gento, Puskas, Roberto Baggio, Torpedo Muller, Zico, Bergkamp, Eusebio, Futre, Blokhin, Breitner, Cabrini, Conti, Elkjaer, Laudrup, Garrincha, Gascoigne, Krol, Francescoli, Matthaus, Beto Alonso., Gigi Riva, Rossi, Antognoni, Beckenbauer, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Giggs, Kempes, Boniek, Romario, Bonhof, Liam Brady, Careca, Jarzinho, Cantona, Cafu, Luis Suarez, Kubala, Deyna, Didi, Eder, Donadoni, Redondo, Hagi, Giresse, Haan, Uli Hoeness, Rummenigge, Dalglish, Keegan, Kopa, Tigana, Guardiola, Rivera, Rivelino, Mazzola, Schuster, Simonsen, Falcao, Hugo Sánchez, Ronald Koeman, Pereira, Mágico Gonzalez, Mauro Silva, Maldini, Franco Baresi, Panenka, Bebeto, Overath, Tostao, Waddle and Zola would not have liked this match. Nor did I."
Twins are creepy. This story has everything: a secret language, elective mutism, juvenile delinquency, sex in a church, an insane asylum, even creepy twins!
Further evidence that Hannah Pool is the World's Worst Journalist.
Popular Science magazine's worst jobs in science. You can get paid for scooping up whale poop!? Also "One day a local detective called me who knew I'd majored in entomology in college and said, 'Hey, Neal, we got a body at the morgue with insects on it. You wanna give it a shot?' The corpse turned out to be a guy I used to have breakfast with, and there were maggots in his teeth. Then I found some in his eyes, and I thought, 'This is what I want to do. This is just way too cool.'"
The worst job is being a hazmat diver, plunging into sewage and chemical spills. Yummy. I do that on my holidays.
Poor But Posh from the Telegraph (where else?). Even better than Bryony Gordon!
I'm waiting desperately for news of the Spice Girls reformation. Then I'm buying tickets! Even if I have to go to smelly horrid London!
