 I've been amused by many of the news reports recently but the wording
 of this one, from BBC News South Today 6/10/05,  made me howl with
 laughter:
 
 "Several people have fallen ill after drinking water contaminated with
 microscopic parasites. A number of them are believed to be children."
 
 Oh joy ........
