I came across this article on the website "Cracked" and found it pretty amusing:

I agree it's an amusing article. However, the line "He disagreed with something that ate" is straight from the Live and Let Die novel, and I always thought it was a pretty clever line.

Fleming came up with many clever Lines

The author is not familiar with the expression "head for heights" so he just trashes it?

Though I was amused by most of the article, some of it was a bit ignorant such as the "head for heights" bit and not knowing the "disagreed with something that ate him" was by Fleming. It seems the writer of the article did not get that it's supposed to be an ironic, sadistic note written by Big's thugs as an attempt at sick humor. It really doesn't belong in the article - it would not surprise me to find out the journalist never read the novel.

He probably isn't aware that anything from LTK came from Fleming's stories since there isn't one by that title.

It's in the same league as those Bond quizzes that papers sometimes print, and
we fans can always point out at least one or two incorrect answers. I remember
One in the Sun ( it was in work, I didn't buy it) which gave the answer to.
Q, In which Bond do we see Jaws kill a Shark
A, live and Let Die ! )

What was groan inducing was the article.

It goes to show that some People need to do some Research first

Reading the article made me realize (again) how happy I am that I can enjoy the silly things in life.
