I agree. The world should revolve around you and headlines should take your life into account going forward. I'll make a note of this sire and have the staff writing the Internet to make an adjustment.

I was maybe 15 years old, and it was the 5th of July. The fireworks from the night before inspired me to embark on a career of pyrotechnics.
My best friend came over and we attempted our first batch of gunpowder. I found the composition of gunpowder in the encyclopedia, got together the ingredients, and set up a table in the backyard. We mashed some old charcoal briquets up, measured out the other ingredients, poured them all in a bucket, and immediately cops started swarming into the backyard.
They came from the back fence over the alley. They came from both neighbors'. They came from the front yard. It was so sudden and so massive there was no chance for us to hide our illegal activity.
But they totally disregarded us, and in fact waved us away. A few minutes later they came out with a long-haired shirtless white guy in handcuffs.
He'd escaped from police custody earlier, and had been hiding in our backyard tree watching us make gunpowder the whole time.
ps- The gunpowder didn't work. Thank God.
