Ireland Steps Away From Catholic Schools

When I first looked at this, I thought it meant Ireland was getting close to having Catholic schools--I read "steps" as a noun.

Answer of the day

A little while ago my Question of the Day was how did I accumulate 23 pairs of black socks. I've discovered the answer: Some of them are my wife's. She's been noticing her supply of black socks has been dwindling.

That's what I get for wearing women's trouser socks all the time. I can't really blame the cleaning woman for this mistake. The socks are pretty much identical, though my wife prefers the completely plain ones, and I like the ones with a bit of a pattern. But I do have some plain ones as well.

I'm not sure I can hold it that long
