Journalists -- and perhaps friends and family members -- began to embroider the tale. They reported that [Louis Slotin] "lunged" or "dived" to rip the hemispheres apart, deliberately putting himself in the path of the deadly rays to save the others. Winnipeg's only plaque honouring Slotin hyperbolically states that he "willingly and heroically laid down his life to save seven fellow scientists" and that he "spontaneously leaped forward, covering the experiment with his body. There's no plaque at the University of Manitoba (where Slotin earned bachelor's and master's degrees)," says [Dwight Vincent]. "There's no building called the Slotin Building. And I think it's mainly because he screwed up."

Second, [Dan Lett]'s column stated the PBO was subjected to "the better efforts of Conservatives to shut him up."

After hearing a urinal ask me, "Are you too drunk to drive?" hailing a cab wouldn't be my first concern. It would be: "What the heck am I doing in a men's room? It's a valuable commodity that's usually as accessible as plutonium. Every woman has, at least once, begged neighbouring stalls for these precious pieces of paper. And I can guarantee it's the only time anyone's happy to hear voices coming out of a toilet. Unfortunately, her voice sounded identical to a friend's. So I blurted out: "I've gotta tell you, for days I've heard music play over and over out of the blue. It's coming from the phones..."
