All Things Misheard

So I was listening to All Things Considered tonight.

There was an interesting story on a Chinese blogger who chronicles misused Chinese characters in signage and tattoos (think the flip side of Engrish.com).

That was cool. But it wasn't the dumb thing.

The dumb thing was that there was also a story about the death of Brigitte Nielsen.

At least, I thought it was Brigitte Nielsen.

It was actually Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson who died.
