It's a good story but maybe a bit long for a classic headline.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Not a newspaper headline, but I remember once when I was on holiday in Devon that a the local radio station mentioned that "a man has demolished his shed. If you would like to collect the wood, contact this number..." That was pretty funny.

But you do get earthquakes. So obviously daylight savings time reduces the occurrence of earthquakes but decreases rainfall and increases temperature.

Interestingly enough, there are fewer earthquakes during winter months when the colder air gives a bit more ground pressure, so perhaps there is something in this daylight saving theory.

Charlie: Yes, councilpersons, I urgently need a nightvision device and a telephoto lens camera to combat the growing tide of nocturnal sex acts. I will record every sordid detail from clear angles to provide evidence of these foul crimes!
Councilman: Wait, so you want public funds to record people having sex?
Charlie: Public sex!
Seems like there are any number of websites he could have gotten support from.....
