I see that the New York Times has a headline, "Armstrong Announces Birth of Son on Twitter." I really should be tweeting this, shouldn't I?

You forced me to go look, to answer the question, "Armstrong who?"

I didn't include the link at first, because it's only the headline that really interests me. Maybe I should take it back out, although I guess that would have only made your curiosity more difficult to satisfy.

My first thought was Neil Armstrong. Which is a bit worrying.

So I had to go look up Neil Armstrong in Wikipedia to see if he was still alive!

I have to admit, I immediately thought of Stretch Armstrong.

Well, I clearly framed this badly, since everybody is reacting to the name. I thought it was funny that the news was that the birth was announced on Twitter, not the birth itself.
