Pileup

I logged on to AOL tonight and looked at the "news headlines" on the welcome screen. Usually it's pop cultural nonsense - what celebrity is having the worst meltdown, what celebrity is wearing what other celebrity's underwear, I don't know what all. Meaningless junk, in other words, stuff that seems hardly worthy of anyone's time.

But tonight, they piled up their headlines in such a way that seems to hint at a larger meta-story. I quote:

Spectacular Event Seen For First Time
Astronomers waited for 30 years
What unfolds before their eyes?
British princess caught naked
Apprehended for frolicking in the buff

Well, all rightie then!
