...disappointed with the end result of tonight’s game, but certainly not disappointed with the effort of our players,” Stone said. “We got ourselves in a little bit of a hole and tried to dig ourselves out. It was one of the hardest fought, from start to finish, games that we’ve played all season...
...giving a U.K. vote to people in far-flung countries may not yield a predictable result. When the Economist ran an online poll for people around the world to pick their preferred U.S. presidential candidate in 2008, Iraq was one of the few countries that favored McCain over Obama.

I remember girls coming to school with radiant, orange skin. This was not a result of carotene over-consumption but, I was told at first, a natural tan that guys “found hot.” Since this was in sunny Georgia, this was plausible, but inevitably I would find that this garish hue was the product of weekly trips to the tanning...
