I thought the article was going to say the mule ignited into a blue flame.

premises in the early hours (file photo)

Police at Whyalla in South Australia are investigating a theft of steak from a local business.

They say the meaty haul was valued at about $500.

The theft is believed to have happened in the early hours from the premises at Whyalla Norrie.

It follows a puzzling theft of 42 kilograms of mayonnaise in two large tubs from Whyalla premises back in June.

Police do not know if the robberies are related.

Of course they are. Who doesn't love a steak sandwich with a little mayo?

Washington Post columnist watches "12 Years a Slave", and is surprised to discover that slavery was brutal:

Quote:

I sometimes think I have spent years unlearning what I learned earlier in my life.
...
slavery was not a benign institution in which mostly benevolent whites owned innocent and grateful blacks. Slavery was a lifetime’s condemnation to an often violent hell in which people were deprived of life, liberty and, too often, their own children. Happiness could not be pursued after that.

Part of the story is in what a (probably deliberately) horrible job the school he describes did when describing slavery.

But the other part is that he's not fresh out of that horrible primary education. He's a Washington Post columnist with pure white hair. How could he have made it to his age, in the journalism field, and still have to unlearn THAT?

I guess there are plenty of people his age who hang on to that view, but still.

A biracial couple, having mixed race children. What a concept!

You'd think that the kids were half-elephant or alligator, or something.
