I agree w/ Coyote

It's like all those democratically elected leaders of Soviet bloc countries falling out windows in the '50s.

This occurs so often Adam Curry has a meme and a jingle for it: "two to the head" ... from a case where it was ruled a man committed suicide by shooting himself directly in the head ..... twice. And to make sure there is full understanding of how ludicrous that is ... that means you have to shoot yourself in the head, and maintain full consciousness, relatively high blood pressure, and strong body control for the 2-4 seconds it takes to recover from the awkward angled recoil, reaim at your head again, and pull the 5-ib rated trigger pull again.
