Lycos 50
Just a quick note...I've added another blog to the ever increasing Lines of Communication to the left. The name of the blog is the Lycos 50.

On hearing the news, a Sydney newspaper dubbed breasts “a treasure chest.” (Sydney Morning Herald) ...Which is presumably better than dubbing the women cows.
