Love, love, love Fark’s year-end headline-of-the-year competition. (See here and here.) Some of my favorites:

• For 75 years, woman plays piano weekly for her church. Credits her longevity to watching her keys and pews
• New Jersey woman steals valuable church crucifix. Police nab her after brief cross examination
• Vehicle crashes into Subway restaurant. Let us take a moment to honor our fallen heroes
• There is a group home for alcoholic hipsters in Brooklyn. At least, there was until everybody heard about it
• Car carrying $1M coin collection rolls over and crashes, dumping entire load across highway — resulting in unexpected lane change
• Ring ring ring goes the trolley. Argh argh argh goes the worker trapped under it
• Nearly 70 dead bats found in Arizona. Isn’t it a little early for spring training news about the Cubs?
• B.C. man hit by stray bullet in Mexico. DAMN YOU, TIME-TRAVELING BULLET

And finally . . .

• Sperm stem cells altered into insulin-producing cells to treat diabetes. Researchers say a cure for diabetes is about to come any moment now
