If he knew enough to be aware that the Daily Star is the paper most likely to make mention of cake-sitting antics... rather than it just being coincidence... then I have sorely underestimated him.

I like the idea that Onstad is actually a merciless genius on every topic, to the point that Achewood is actually an exercise in relaxation for him and he is such as secretly running Europe.

I didn't know there was a Morning Star paper; thanks for the info.
I thought the Daily Morning Star might have been a subtle reference to the fact that all UK tabloids serve the interests of Lucifer.

It would make sense to attribute the confusion to the character and not to the author.
I mean, I have no idea if Onstad knows that judo doesn't involve striking, but I guarantee Ray doesn't.

Yes, but the names of judo throws always sound like someone who is confused about how to sneeze, and never something so neat as "Judo Trip".
Favorites include:
"Kosoto Gari"
"Deashi Harai"
and
"Harai Goshi Gaeshi"
Just picture someone sneezing and saying any of those, but in a tone of voice that ends in a big question mark.
You are now a Judoka.

Others have made the accurate point that these references are both to unreliable characters in comedic works, and that they are probably deliberate foul-ups for the sake of humor.

question: does the animal world in britain have their own queen? i'm trying to think of the logistics here, the tabloids should have more interest in a talking cat soliciting the queen.

Your question suggests the possibility that the animal world in Britain is going around without a queen.
Clearly, that would be madness.
