Big news this week is obviously the (hurrah, we got him) capture and then (oops, we killed him) execution of Colonel Gaddafi, who clearly wasn't paying proper attention in Dictator School.
Nice flamboyant touch with the gold-plated gun he was carrying. But surely every crazed despot knows you need a cyanide capsule concealed in a hollow tooth, ready to deny the baying mob their bloody revenge when they finally corner you.
A few less gilded swans and mermaid-shaped sofas, and a modest investment in a spot of World War II pottasium cyanide would have spared everyone the nasty scene outside the drainpipe. Tsk.
