Dog Bites Man: Man Bites Dog; Newspaper Bites Man

In a previous post, I informed you that King Hussein's dog was treated in Israel - unsuccessfully.

I wrote there that this was a ridiculous journalistic event.

I was wrong. It was worse:

Correction: King Abdullah's dog wasn't treated in Israel

On March 29th, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that a sick dog said to belong to Jordan's King Abdullah was treated at an Israeli hospital. The story was published on Ynetnews as well.

A further inquiry into the story revealed that the report was incorrect, prompting Yedioth Ahornoth to issue an apology to its readers.


Oh well.

One photo of yourself on your blog would suffice to show you're not hiding or disguising yourself. But four (4) photos of yourself on your home-page says you're a narcissist. You're major creepy.
