Lovely world we live in

Fixed.

 

BEST. HEADLINE. EVA!!

 

I like "Astor Maybe"

 

Too bad about Ismay safe.

Creep.

 

Sorry but the bus death deserves to be number one. Most bizarre story I've heard in a long time.

 

I notice 9-10 All-Star softball didn't crack the top 10.

 

Yes, but there is a six-part series in the works to document how hard they try. Part one, which should be released today, is titled: "Shaking hands with your opponents: A How To guide."

 

He was tried and did hard time, if that's any comfort.

 

Ummm, incorrect Goal.

The only "hard time" Ismay did was the ostracizing he took from London society after the Titanic went down -- without him going down with it.

The American and British press gave him a hard time, if that's what you're referring to. Other than that, Breaker of Leopold and Loeb is dead-on nails as usual that Ismay was a douchenozzle.

 

Part two is "How to nag publishers into ordering sports editors to cover your kids games", followed by part three: "How your kids' name in the paper equals a college scholarship."

 

And, from the off-the-charts trivia department, the NY Times was the only paper to have this story right. Every other paper -- including the Los Angeles Express that backs a clock I bought Mrs. Birdscribe the Titanic Fanatic for Christmas one year -- had most people being rescued.

The reason they had the story was because of their managing editor, Carr Van Anda -- a guy so anal and a guy so smart that he once found a mistake in a mathematical equation on a picture one of his photogs brought him

The equation came from Albert Einstein.

Once he got the information about the boat, the iceberg and everything that went with it, Van Anda reasoned that there's no way the Titanic was still floating and no way the majority of people were rescued.

Hence, the famous front page that Goal posted.

 

And to think: today's papers would probably have just a picture of the boat and a one-word headline over it. Something snazzy of course, like "Tragedy" or "The Unthinkable happens".

Of course, if it's the NY Post, the headline would simply say "Oh Shit".
