David Dimbleby and the scorpion

I note the following comment on the BBC website - possibly the best bit of news writing I've seen in months. The story relates to a six-legged scorpion tattoo and the number of legs a scorpion ought by rights to possess.

Mr Dimbleby's agent said the presenter was unavailable for comment. However, the east London studio which drew the tattoo told the BBC website that staff had reproduced a design which Mr Dimbleby provided. It should be noted that the 2004 single The Scorpion by the American thrash metal band Megadeth features a scorpion with only six visible legs on its cover, but it is not known whether Mr Dimbleby is a fan of their output.

Hairy, wrinkly old men shouldn't be getting tattoos. Neither should most people, IMO.

Hopefully, it's because you're on the Olympic Swim Team.

However much I get spruced, the tidying never survives the next full moon.

Are you a werewolf? That might explain it.
