Pfft. I have the world's best (and worst) headline on my wall. I'm staring at it right now. Do you want to know what it says?

"Working with dead is agonizingly slow."

Vala jumps on Italy

This was a actual headline in a sportsnewspaper here in Iceland, Vala is a polejumper and was competing in a tournament in Italy...

My reaction to the headline was "That Bi%$&h, is Italy okey?" [img]smile.gif[/img]

The headline "Ivan goes on a rampage" amuses me somewhat. It evokes images of some crazed former Soviet general.
