AP Amphiboly

Posted At: 10:41am by Rev. William M. Cwirla

I'm planning to revive the Logical Fallacies articles in the near future, since there is so much wonderful illogic in the world today.  I couldn't resist this delightful amphiboly this morning from the Associated Press:

BERLIN (AP) - A man jumped into the Berlin zoo enclosure of famed polar bear Knut on Monday, but officials were able to keep the animal away from the intruder by distracting him with a leg of beef, police said.

The guy must have been pretty hungry.  I wouldn't have settled for less than a New York strip.

The best logical fallacies page on the internet continues to be Bruce Thompson's Fallacy Files.
