    The second verse of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s song, Headline News, is about these two.

    Once there was this girl who Swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion And when she finally made it She saw some other girl who was better And so she hired some guy to Club her in the knee cap

        Now you may find it inconceivable or rather very least a bit unlikely that The relative position of the planets and the stars Could have a special deep significance or meaning That exclusively applies to only you But, let me give you my assurance that These forecasts and predictions are all based on Solid, scientific, documented evidence So you would have to be some kind of moron Not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true Where was I?

          Warrior!

          You might incredible strength, and you can probably pwn somebody’s face.

          But you are worthless without a priest, you are destined to raid for all your life.

        And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out

        And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside

        And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died

        Except for me

        You know why?

        'Cause I had my tray table up

        And my seat back in the full upright position

        Had my tray table up

        And my seat back in the full upright position

    This whole thing happened 30 years ago now. Wow. These two must be in their 50s now. It was such a media circus at the time.

      You’re not entirely wrong.

      From the wiki:

      Initially based around the character Tanya Adams in the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series, Kerrigan was named after Nancy Kerrigan, who at the time was involved in a feud with Tonya Harding.
