Ok... not making the subject of this story to be the topic for the thread... just complaining about the lack of creativity with headlines. I mean sheesh.. how many times has "rock" and variations of it been used in relation to stories in Bagdad, Gaza, Jerusalem, etc etc?
I think we need abit of creative intervention.
And if this seems insensitive in the face of the reality of what happened... at some point some people just have to start to laugh to get through it.

Yeah.. you don't hear the word "jounce" too much, but by god if I can't remember the line from A Separate Peace "Gene jounced the limb".
"Explosions Jiggle Bagdad"
