That's a dead giveaway that Putin was responsible.

Well, can anyone argue that as the criminal responsible, that he lacks expertise in the case ?

An Idaho pastor skeptical of masks lands in the ICU for Covid-19
A pastor in Idaho who called himself a "no-masker" during a service and repeatedly questioned the veracity of coronavirus case reporting is in the ICU after contracting Covid-19.
Paul Van Noy, senior pastor at Candlelight Church in Coeur d'Alene, has spent two weeks in the hospital with a Covid-19 diagnosis, ministry coordinator Eric Reade confirmed to CNN. Five other church staff were infected with coronavirus, too, but they've all recovered, he said.
In a comment shared through Candlelight Church, Van Noy said he'll soon move out of the ICU into another room in the hospital and then recover at home. ...
In a July Facebook post, Van Noy falsely claimed that wearing masks doesn't prevent Covid-19 transmission, and he urged his parishioners not to fear the "cause or effect of Covid-19." ...
The collision was caught on CCTV, and shows Abedin's father-in-law thrown across the bonnet and smashing so hard into the windscreen it shattered the glass.
Abedin then drove away from the scene, leaving her father-in-law lying in the road with a number of serious injuries, including a fractured pelvis.
A judge heard before admitting to the hit-and-run, Abedin concocted a series of cover-ups including that she might have suffered a partial loss of consciousness because of an asthma attack at the time of the crash.
She later claimed the damage to her car was caused by thieves breaking into the car to steal her phone, prosecutor Joey Kwong said.
Abedin also tried to deny she was using her phone at the time of the crash by deleting 32 incriminating texts and saying the device often delayed sending messages.
Abedin appeared in court on Wednesday for sentencing and was supported by family including her father-in-law - who she helps to care for.
It was said her relatives withdrew their support for the matter to be prosecuted in the courts.
She was jailed for six months for the dangerous driving offence and a consecutive 12 months for perverting the course of justice.
She was also banned from driving for two years and nine months.
I wonder if she's still married?

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2...-book-word-perfect-printed-with-host-of-typosSusie Dent 'gutted' after new book Word Perfect printed with host of typos
“I’m so sorry about this. I’ll be in touch as soon as I can with details on how we’re going to fix it,” said Dent on Twitter, where she described herself as “gutted” over the error.
Her publisher John Murray also apologised. “We’re very sorry that, due to a printing error, early copies of Word Perfect are not word perfect. We’re taking urgent steps to recall these copies, reprint and resolve this swiftly,” it said, adding that customers needing a replacement should get in touch. However, copies have already made it to many UK bookshops.
Bit baffling how that happened. The author would have most likely sent a word processor file and the publisher should have used proof readers and an editor. But they don't seem to spend money on such fripperies these days.

It's a game of "mouse, paper, scissors" gone a bit wrong.I had to laugh at this mishap. Glad it didn't happen to me. Hope it's appropriate here:

The real irony of this sort of impossible-to-open packaging, of course, is that sometimes, scissors are sold in it.I had to laugh at this mishap. Glad it didn't happen to me. Hope it's appropriate here:

I used to review science fiction books for SFX magazine from the late 1990s for a decade or so, and the number of typos rose steadily over that period. As a proofreader I know that mistakes are going to happen (but at least it's not heart surgery so the repercussions are less serious...) but the number of errors in some books made them difficult to read.Bit baffling how that happened.

One magazine I worked for printed 'Britain' in very large letters on the cover rather than Britain. I hasten to say that this was after I left... as was 'prostrate cancer', which also made the cover.

That's the bloody spellchecker correcting my deliberate error, and me not re-reading. I f***in' hate the automatic spellchecker!There's a missing typo in your example. Couldn't have happened in a more appropriate thread
