Zany/Serious
Zany: adjective - comically idiotic; ridiculous or comic; bizarre, crazy.
Serious: adjective - grave, solemn or sober in
disposition or intention; responsible, neither reckless nor careless.
'The tabloid newspaper was
in the habit of describing any student activity that was even marginally out of
the ordinary as "zany", so that it was impossible to take its reports
seriously.'
'Jason was a serious young
man; his sober clothes, sedate manner and generally grave habit made him the
butt of the jokes played by his more frivolous fellow students.'
1703 - Tokyo was hit by an
earthquake, which killed about 37,000.
1919 - Lincoln's Inn in
London admitted its first female law student. And even after almost a hundred
years of supposed equality, women are seriously underrepresented as barristers
and judges. So much for progress, eh?
