 Your lead of the day, courtesy of the Daily Pennsylvanian:
Meg Ryan closed her eyes, tilted her head back and moaned, “Oh god, oh god.” She appeared to be experiencing an orgasm - but unknown to most men, she was faking it.
Just think, men, how far we’ve come since 1989.
This article also contains the following sentence: “For example, masturbation does not cause deformities.” I kind of miss covering events that would allow me to write awesome leads and sentences like these.
Also: “‘It totally changed my perspective on the vagina,’ College freshman Mathew Lazarus said.”

In a city where horrors happen daily, this crime seemed more horrific than most.
Oh, man, what was it? Did Christine Flowers shoot somebody who made fun of the Pope? Did 500 kids get killed all at once?
No, wait, of course: It was an attack on a dog. Okay, so the woman allegedly attacked the dog with a hatchet, which is pretty ridiculous — fight fair, lady! — but of course the Daily News treats it as if Zombie Barbaro had been killed. Uhm, again.

A beautiful spring afternoon was spoiled for one man who fell about 70 feet while trying to scale High Rocks in Ralph Stover State Park on Wednesday.

Hey, here’s how the Daily News summed up the weekend!
Thousands of residents took to the streets Saturday for a citywide spring cleaning, but after a violent weekend - including two home invasions, a robbery, a stabbing, five shootings, and a homicide - a citywide cleanup of the soul might also be needed.
The hell? Did Bill Bennett write this lead? Yes, let’s all get together, hold hands and cleanse our souls.
The Philadelphia Soul had no comment.

State police have busted a dude with a collection of child porn apparently by using tactics from the Book of ChrissMari:
BENSALEM - State police have busted another alleged child porn collector in Bucks County after trolling the Internet.
They managed to catch the dude after countless hours spent telling newbies to go back to other forums, telling bloggers their blogs aren’t as good as they used to be and exhorting the candidacy of Ron Paul.

Leads like this are great because they work with any story:
What do deer hunters and protesters have in common?
Both will rise bright and early Thursday for the deer hunt at Tyler State Park.
I know, I get it; but it could just as easily be adapted to “What do the Eagles and Giants have in common? They’re meeting at the Linc next weekend.”

The theme song for a classic television show several years ago crooned about going to a place where “everybody knows your name.”
Yes, a classic television show! Boy, what could that show have been that aired several years ago?
