Signs I still read too slowly
Another "Today in History" entry:
1969: The lunar module of Apollo 10, with Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene Cernan aboard, flies to within nine miles of the moon's surface in a dress rehearsal for the first lunar landing.
I blinked when I got to "dress," then sighed when I got to "rehearsal." (No, they are not on separate lines on the page.) It doesn't help that I associate dress rehearsals exclusively with plays.
Now I have the urge to draw a lunar module in a giant pink gown.
