I heard a story about a guy who lived in New York City a long time ago. He was very depressed because nobody ever noticed him. He wanted to be famous, but nobody seemed to care. So he decided that he would make headlines, what ever the cost. He went to the top of a tall building and leaped to his death. Unfortunately, he did it on the very day that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan.
Timing is everything.
