Surely the Daily Mail's astrologer should have seen this coming?

Daily Mail horoscope: 'It's extremely boring if you should actually bother to read it'

Fans of the Daily Mail's resident astrologer, Jonathan Cainer, will have to look elsewhere for guidance from the stars today. Owing to an unfortunate production error, none of Cainer's predictions have made it into today's paper. Instead, Cainer fans are treated to a fascinating insight into the world of subediting. Aries: "This is a swathe of dummy text that can be used to indicate how many words fit a particular space." Cancer: "The paragraphs have been made deliberately different lengths in order to avoid repetition." Libra: "There is no pretend Latin because, annoyingly, it wreaks havoc with spell check." Pisces: "It's extremely boring if you should actually bother to read it." Which, it would appear, someone on the Mail didn't. We bet Cainer didn't see this one coming. One thing's for sure – someone's seeing stars. The Mail's editor, Paul Dacre, is a Scorpio. Expect a sting in this tale.
