Remembering A Children's Lit Legend (Arts Journal) "People feel they know Roald Dahl. Most of us have read his books and had our childhoods shaped by his fantastical mind and macabre sense of humour.
'All-around good mom' had a wicked sense of humour (London Free Press) She was born two years before the Wright Brothers flew. It was 1901 -- Sir Wilfrid Laurier was prime minister, Queen Victoria died that year and licence plates started being used in the U.S.
Ben's net antics (Herald Sun) HE HAS suffered a spectacular fall from grace in the past year, but Ben Cousins has kept his sense of humour.
Brilliant boy's sad death not in vain (Sydney Morning Herald) Nathan Trepezanov arrived on the same stage that produced the Chaser team and was a huge hit.
Bugger! Labour website next casualty (The New Zealand Herald) Either there are National-voting hackers about, or dark humour has taken over at Labour Party HQ after Saturday night's election disaster. The Labour08 website now has a photo of the dog from the "bugger" TV advertisement where Helen Clark's face once was.
Sad tale of the boy who brought the house down may now help others (Harden Murrumburrah Express) AS A fearless 18-year-old, Nathan Trepezanov arrived on the same Footbridge Theatre stage that produced the Chaser team and promptly brought the house down. His famous kebab skit, written and performed with friends Leon and Mohammad, injected some raucous wog humour into that year's usually white-bread Sydney University Law Faculty Revue.
Bizarre Ben's video antics (Perth Now) HE'S lost plenty over the past few years, but Ben Cousins has certainly maintained his sense of humour.
