That's a very /notTheOnion headline.
It makes me picture a scene:
The clock tower strikes, high noon. Shudders snap closed along the deserted street. Two men stare at each other, hands at their waists.
"Well if it isn't the famous outlaw Franky Flynn himself... it looks like your blood lead levels are about to go up partner"
"Yep... in the flesh. Funny thing though, studies have shown that exposure to Franky Flynn can cause blood-lead levels to rise in lawmen by up to 600 %"
"Well... [spits], I do my own research"
