Man, that's pretty cool! Thanks for Sharing!! Maybe you should write in and correct them! (Hee hee) In Singapore's newspapers, if they make mistakes in printing, there will be a small column by the side of the next day's newspaper, stating what was wrong and the correction
Yep, that's right, except I don't always remember what they're correcting. I have to dig out yesterday's newspapers then read the whole article before I actually remember that I already read it. And sometimes after reading I still can't remember.

Lano, Gene Autry was some Hollywood cowboy dude. I don't know what he looked like, although I imagine 'dude-like' with a horse of course. The poor guy, I don't feel like looking him up to see what he looked like.

OK, so who's Gene Autry?
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Lano he was Dale Evans lover when Roy Rogers wasn't around and him and Trigger was riding the range.I heard that Roy shot Gabby Hayes and Matt Dillan was after him for playing around with Kitty.Then there was nasty talk about the Lone Ranger and Tonto.He used to shot everbody with silver bullets.He owned a silvermine and couldn't afford lead.Oh he used to yell at his horse all the time saying HI OH SILVER.
Then in the city there was always the Shadow.Spooky Guy.Those days were sure exciting.LOL

Thanks Catman, for pointing out that I have been delusional regarding Roy Rodgers and Matt Dillon all these years! Guess I didn't watch as much TV as you as a child - LOL

ROFL...Heck i figured i was the only one old enough to know all these cowboys.I watched very little TV when i was a child because they were just inventing it.Heck my Dad was the first one to get a telephone but had no one to call because they didn't have phones.Those were the days.LOL
