    It may be brilliant, informative, funny or just plain wrong, but a headline is about catching our attention. This one in today's New York Times certainly does.


    Foul Play Likely in Case of Spy Found Dead in Bag



    This suggests that your average spy-in-a-bag is just another 'natural causes' event.

    This photo does not come from a Spying 101 course. It is an attempt to see if the victim could have put himself in the bag. Honestly.

    According to the Irish Times that guy was a long time yoga practitioner and after 100 attempts he still could not lock himself in the case. Yea, the death does sound just a little suspicious.
