oh, is that the joke then? Oh my god!!

I just double checked using a pencil and paper and you are so write!! Isn't it the most ironic thing ever in the world? an anagram that is a play on words to change the name of the newspaper to reflect the "Grauns" its readers must have exhaled when they stumbled upon another misspelling.

It's hilarious and zingy. Fresh. Like being jet blasted with lime juice, sharp sand and TCP. How do people come up with these things? I'd wager Fry has been twittering all night on this subject to his chums. You are right. It's very, very good.
