The Toronto Star's RSS feed, pictured above, displays only excerpts of the articles it links to—one sentence, maybe two, no author, and a headline. But every so often, it's remarkably easy to tell who wrote which article. Can you guess, for instance, which of the stories from this morning's paper was written by Rosie DiManno? Would it help if we told you that the full-length article (in which, big hint, the word death is italicized), there is an entire paragraph handed over to this sentence: "He cut a wide swath with his penis"?
Thanks to reader Naomi Macleod for the tip.

I wish every novel started with the sentence "He cut a wide swath with his penis."
bring back the DiManno watch. I, for one, don't remember why it was ever retired.
Wow, this isn't even a sentence, never mind a paragraph:
"Deliberate, without prophylactic protection, done in full awareness that infection of others might result, withholding his HIV-positive status and repeatedly denying his condition to sexual partners who inquired."
She writes about these horrible events in such a way that a reader can only laugh. The imagery is too much.
I read that article online yesterday and remember lol-ing at the 'wide swath' business. She takes herself a little seriously.
