Ist im Schriftsatz eine einzelne Zeile eines Absatzes durch einen Seitenwechsel abgetrennt, spricht der Setzer entweder von einem Schusterjungen (heute auch: Waisenkind, englisch: orphan)[1] oder einem Hurenkind (gelegentlich auch Hundesohn, heute auch: Witwe, englisch: widow),[2] je nachdem, ob es sich um die erste oder die letzte Zeile des Absatzes handelt.
…
Eine dritte Möglichkeit ist eine räumliche Merkhilfe: „Ein Schusterjunge muss unten im Keller arbeiten, ein Hurenkind steht oben verloren auf der Straße.“
Was zur Hölle?

(via Tfguy)“They approached me,” he told The Telegraph. “I’m an attention seeker. That is the main reason I speak. That is the reason I agreed to go on the BBC. Trading is a like a hobby. It is not a business. I am a talker. I talk a lot. I love the whole idea of public speaking.”
So he’s more of a talker than a trader. A man who doesn’t own the house he lives in, but can sum up the financial crisis in just three minutes – a knack that escapes many financial commentators.
“I agreed to go on because I’m attention seeker,” he said on Tuesday. “But I meant every word I said.”

Photo of ARA (Anti Racist Action) protesters dressed as clowns to counter a VNN Vanguard Nazi/KKK hate rally in Knoxville, Tennesse from 2007.
Unfortunately for [VNN] the 100th ARA (Anti Racist Action) clown block came and handed them their asses by making them appear like the asses they were.(link via Tfguy)
Alex Linder the founder of VNN and the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns. http://www.volunteertv.com/home/headlines/7704982.html
“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.
“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.
“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, “ohhhhhh!” the clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.
At this point several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed “White Power!”
The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”
