Unplanned Applause
1Unplanned Applause
I'll admit it.. I watched some of the State of The Union Address the other night. I did get a chuckle at one point though; I'm used to the apparently mandatory applause after every sentence (though whether they're applauding what was said, or the fact that he managed to get through one more sentence without stumbling, I'm not sure about). I was surprised when after mentioning that the Patriot Act expires in the near future, the Democratic portion of Congress interrupted Bush's speech at that point to start applauding.
Seeing Bush's annoyance as he turned toward the applauding people and shook his head ("No, no, that's not where you're supposed to clap! You missed your cue!") was priceless.

LONDON (AP) - Britain's biggest-selling hiking magazine apologized Wednesday after its latest issue contained a route that would lead climbers off the edge of a cliff on Britain's tallest peak.
The February edition of Trail magazine gives advice on making a safe descent for hikers caught in bad weather on Ben Nevis in Scotland.
But the magazine's directions would instead lead readers off the north face of the 4,406-foot mountain, which is notorious for its changeable weather and has claimed the lives of several climbers.
