	HTML error: "May 25</b> is Towel Day and National Tap Dance Day." Man, Madeleine McCann. I got so sick of that being all the news anyone would talk about for months. I guess some of my muggle-borns are going to have opinions... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Argh, I had missed that one. Thanks for spotting it! I was sick of it too, especially since around here it took years rather than months for the story to die down, what with us getting the unfiltered version of the story. And we're getting lenghty reports of it once again, and I can't help but go "aaaaaagh!" (Reply to this) (Parent)
