Was 2011 the most eventful year yet?

Genius. The BBC asks number 745 in my series of Questions to Which the Answer is No, on the front-page link to this feature, which has another headline of sublime comedy:

2011: The year when a lot happened.

Thanks to James, also known as Equus on the Buses.

Meanwhile, shame on the Daily Mail for retreating from asking, “Is the Curse of Tutankhamun About to Strike Downton Abbey?” (It is still there in the url, but on the page has been replaced by: “As the links with Egypt’s boy king and the castle are revealed, a tantalising question…”)
