Yes, the headline is one of the funniest I've ever read. And then the rickshaw part, I could imagine that since I've rode one before when I was 5. That must have hurt very much though.

Ouch. Poor guy. Craig didn't mean it, though, which is good. When I saw the title I thought he had beaten somebody up with his new James Bond skills.
