Two teams in the NFL this season have gone on lengthy winning streaks after losing to the Cleveland Browns: the New Orleans Saints, and the New England Patriots.

One of my favourite books, "Lord of the Flies" by Willy Golding was initially referred to by a publisher as:“an absurd and uninteresting fantasy which was rubbish and dull.”
To date, the book has been required reading in high schools for nearly fifty years, 14.5 million copies have been sold, and Golding’s work has been adapted for film twice.
