Yes, Faldage, I think you've found it.
As for you, IP - "nincompoopity" cracks me up. Royalties forthcoming.
I have a different relationship to headlines ever since I saw this one back in November: "Bush pays troops a surprise visit" (referencing the big Thanksgiving photo-op). With a little clever folding, it's a great party trick to make it read: "Bush poops a surprise". "Hey, look guys! My head!"
