A few years back I stumbled upon this opening paragraph in a "quality" Australian newspaper. I don't want to "out" the author (although you can search and find the article for yourself), and we should perhaps assume some bizarre mishap in the sub-editing process - I would hate to think that this paragraph was, in fact, deliberate. Anyway, whatever the cause, the result, as you see, is sixty-five incomprehensible words with just a single, apparently random, comma between them. I hate it and I love it:
I will preserve it here for posterity.
