"Farewell, cousin, here we're frozen." These high-profile words have haunted me all day in the coverage of the terrible plane accident in Greece. I now see that they were not part of a text message from the doomed plane as first reported, but were actually a hoax. Not bad for last words, but I should have known that nothing that poetic could be real. Extra irony bonus: unfortunate Google ads at the bottom of this news story ("Stop your fear of flying!" and "Flight anxiety help--call now!")--since changed to tsunami relief ads because hey, one disaster metatag deserves another.
