I always thought a dangling participle was what Titus used whilst trolling the fens.

"Good programs that enhance our image in the community and state are focused upon in this section of the newsletter."

From The Passive Strikes Again! (The Underground Grammarian).

Do you know that the use of colons in titles is epidemic in the soft sciences, with two colons even becoming common? One editor calls them colonic titles It's still comparatively rare in technical literature.

I'm presently listening to a lecture series on Jurisprudence and those guys apparently sincerely ponder the question whether the Nazi system of governance was actually "law."

Seems kind of a pointless question to me but perhaps I'm missing something.

Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join, the Nazi party.

I believe that would be a past participle.

Tits.
