...Some of the images on Cuteoverload.com are exactly what you'd expect from a site with that name: a pile of kittens, a bunny nuzzling a blade of grass, a puppy sleeping on a quilt. A million Hallmark calendars have been sold on the enduring appeal of such images; that Cuteoverload.com could acquire 65,000 readers and hundreds of comments per day by designing a pleasant blog around them makes total sense...

Yet since independence in the 1960s, Africa...
...flying-saucer hats as a sudden gust of wind tried to launch it, or the Prince, tongue in cheek, declining to speak for his wife for fear she would be cross with him later. The pair inserted some nice adlibs into the script. Upon being presented with a quilt at one stop, Charles asked, "Is it king-size or queen-size?" Explaining his resistance to jet lag, he noted, "It's all in the breeding, you know." When Clint Eastwood said lightly that Diana was too old for him, as they danced at the White House, she flirted back...
