    Jigar,

    Two of my favorites...

    "Satan Sidelined with Laryngitis" (Buffalo News)

    "Sabers Renounce Satan" (ESPN)


    Paul

    PS: Both refer to then-forward Miroslav Satan (pronounced SHUH-tan)...

        Jigar,

        I cut out the one from the News as soon as I saw it. If I find it (I've moved a few times since) I'll sign it and send it to you.

    Sweet. I'll frame it :-)

    Couple other one's I like...

    "Tiger Woods plays with own balls, Nike says"

    "DOE to do NEPA's EIS on BNFL's AMWTP at INEEL after SRA protest"

    "Ten Commandments: Supreme Court says some OK, some not"

    "Puerto Rican named mistress of the universe"

      Jigar,
      "Tiger Woods plays with own balls, Nike says"
      Well, sure, they'd say that. They don't want anyone to know they were paying someone to do it.
      "Ten Commandments: Supreme Court says some OK, some not"
      They had a problem with, for example, "Thou shalt have no Gods before me."
      "Puerto Rican named mistress of the universe"
      But.. but... Baby got "back!"**

      And she had her own episode of South Park!

      ** Translation: Back == bubble butt. It's a cultural slang thang. We don't expect you middle-aged white folk to "get" it. In any sense of the word.

    Those are kind of like those headlines they have on Jay Leno every Monday or whatever. Those are SO funny; especially with Jay sharing (and making comments about) them.
