From the Washington Post: Skywalkers Cross Han Solo
The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alchohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months warm, happy, and floating?you finish off as an orgasm.

In the spirit of that headline, that was quite a feat!
I read the article, and am amazed that so many people want to go on a wire across a river, but hey, I’m not into extreme sports. But even after reading the thing, I still can’t help but roll my eyes at that headline-it is so cheesy! Clever, but cheesy!

As I saw that headline I tried to think of all sorts things that would explain the title. I didn’t figure it out at all. Very good play on words. Thanks.
Cheers

This guy is wrong in so many way, but so funny…

Nice find! I really laughed at the scientists cloning one.
I’ll add this to my webcomic browsing collection.

That is one of those once in a lifetime headlines. I wouldn’t necessarily call it the best for 2008 though, as we have a while to go still.

That’s why I call it a contender. I hope to see more challengers for the title this year.
