Buh?

WTF?

It's part of The Daily Record's history of "crimes that shocked Scotland!"

Nun-murder at the hands of Scottish ninja?

An oldie but a goldie ;-)

The Daily Record is not the most reliable of sources, and often takes a slightly biased view of what happens in the world.

Fable has it that The Record reported the sinking of the Titanic with the headline:
"Ship Sinks at Sea, Several Scots Feared Lost"

Hmm, interesting article.

However, the "ninja" was not Scottish - "Scouse" refers to the area around Liverpool and the Merseyside, definitely in England. The nun was, though.

...And if I'd read to the end of the article, I wouldn't look like such and idiot. D'oh.
