I believe Rox was capitalizing words at random.

It took me a while to figure out that you were referring to the arrest of the PKK leader in Italy. That story is in the news here, and is receiving ongoing coverage of a sort, but is not a sensation. Good idea keeping that subject off the UT. Private e-mails are welcome.

I read somewhere that we call them turkeys because the Spanish explorers who saw them thought that they were peacocks, which they used to call turkeys because they thought that peacocks came from Turkey.
