Sneakeater Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I will never forget this. It was just into my first semester of law school when this came out: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/reader-center/times-satire-history.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/reader-center/new-york-times-parody-paper.html The "Having" Section.

Sneakeater Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It has nothing to do with The New York Times. Digital access to The Times wouldn't help you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 What a bizarre article. Could have been written about lunch or dinner (by someone with nothing better to do). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 NYT headline: Quote A Man Died After Eating a Bag of Black Licorice Every Day Future NYT headlines: "A Man Died After Drinking a Gallon of Water Every Day" "A Man Died After Breathing Every Day" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(But I get your point, even though the Times was not the first to "cover" this. But interestingly, as someone with high blood pressure, I avoid real licorice or anything made from licorice root (like teas, herbal "remedies" and so on. Definite correlation.

Sneakeater Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think their problem is more "since that's what your article is about, try to find a conjunction that suggests causality." Which "after" doesn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We went to a Green Day show (American Idiot tour) at Madison Square Garden, and Billie Joe Armstrong asked if anyone in the audience knew the guitar part to (I think) Jesus of Suburbia. A 14-year-old girl named Jessica did, so he invited her onstage to play it with the band. She was great! Then he led the crowd in chanting "Jessica! Jessica! Jessica!" and...I'm starting to cry right now, thinking about it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
