On a lighter note, while this news story isn’t really something to laugh at, it has a wonderful example of bad writing that made me laugh:
A 35-year-old educator in Douglas County has been arrested on charges that she allegedly had sexual relations with a 16-year-old student who is a minor more than once.
So he was a minor more than once, huh? Just how many times can one be a minor? Is it a cumulative thing encompassing everything up until your 18th birthday? Are you a minor 18 times? Or once for each month/day/hour/minute? Just how is this figured out, anyway?
