Turn Around

Via Craig Brett, a boatload of African refugees suffered an unfortunate introduction to Continental Europe when their vessel washed up on a nudist beach. In addition to dehydration and hypothermia, afflictions among the visitors apparently included hysteria and temporary blindness. Bumping into Spaniards — not all of whom should be sunning in birthday suits — must be quite a shock, culturally or otherwise, but I invite us to consider a more otherworldly, traumatic destination; a true Bedlam. The Africans, you see, could have run aground at Berkeley.
