I may have already mentioned this, but ...
During the time I was at Cornell, my favorite Ithaca Journal headline
(front page, above the fold) was:
LIZARD STUNS BROOKTONDALE
It might have been just a little better if they had used the G-word in the
headline instead of just in the story:
GIANT LIZARD STUNS BROOKTONDALE
The lizard was about two feet long as I recall, and after the stunning was
done, it was captured and taken to Cornell. The Cornell lizardologists
later declined to bring the creature back to Brooktondale for a Lizard
Festival that some were promoting.
I incorporated the headline into a montage which I still have somewhere.
