No mystery there...if he shows up in the balcony more than once a sniper will take him out. He even rotates where he sleeps at random every night.

From way back in the early '80's: Protestors would stand in front of the "White Trains" that were supected of moving nuclear weapons. One of the protestors was determined to be a martyr to the cause, and the headline the next day was,

"Protestor Who Lost Legs Vows to Continue Arms Fight"

True.

I have a friend who collects such humorous headlines. My favoriite in recent memory was a story about a person who was killed when a tree fell on him. The expert interviewed about it was a local forest ranger named....wait for it...

Tim Burr.

Brit tabloid The Sun has had a few good ones over the years, my favourite two would be:

"Up Yours Delors"
(Above an article to do with the paper's anti EU stance: refers to the then head of the European Commission Jacques Delors)

and

"Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious"
(After minor Scottish football (o.k, soccer :) ) team Inverness Caledonian beat the (relatively) famous Glasgow Celtic in a cup match.
