Russell Crowe has apologised for a rant on twitter concerning circumcision. The background to this 'news' story:-
His 140-character tirades were triggered by a tweeted inquiry from the expectant parent of a son who asked, "Do you think I should get him circumstanced?"

There's an infamous typo in the novelisation of the Doctor Who TV story 'Delta and the Bannermen', where a missing 'r' results in the Doctor 'peeing over a shelf' at one point.
Maybe he was just marking his territory?

Just finished reading a story in which books 'line all of the wails'...
Sadly it wasn't an isolated incident.

What happens when you push the wailers to make an out-right scream?

My first book, published by Gollancz in 1995, was a collection of funny press cuttings called "Cannibal Victims Speak Out." It’s been out of print for years, but I’m pleased to say it’s now available, extremely cheaply, as a multi-format e-book at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/102004, or from your usual e-book supplier.

Just read a 'great' typo where one vehicle 'undertook' another one on the motorway.
It's an ARC though, so I'm going to assume the error didn't make it into the final product.
