Pat Garrett didn't just kill Billy the Kid, he also became the leading expert on the outlaw's life.
Here are the 101 best sex scenes of all time, from steamy foreign classics to Hollywood's lustiest movies like Basic Instinct and Wild Things. A motorcyclist and passenger knocked off a bike in a fatal road accident have gone viral after a video which purports to show the co-rider's soul leaving her body. The collision, which happened.

In a small town in northern New Mexico, a man hid in a bedroom with a loaded pistol. Two men entered, and upon sensing the presence of the man already there, one shouted “Quien es? Quien es?” (“who is it?”) while reaching for his gun.
The first man beat him to it, drawing his revolver and shooting twice, the echo reverberating into the desert night. The other man fell down dead without a word.
This is the alleged final meeting of Billy the Kid with the man who shot him, detailed by that very man: Pat Garrett.
Born on June 5th, 1850 in Alabama, Pat Garrett was raised on a Louisiana plantation. With the death of his parents in his teens, the debt against his family plantation, and the Civil War forever altering his lifestyle, Garrett fled west to start a new life.
He worked as a buffalo hunter in Texas towards the end of the 1870s but retired when he shot and killed a fellow hunter (his explosive anger and hair-trigger violence would become a motif in his life). Pat Garrett then pulled up stakes for New Mexico, first rancher, then as a bartender in Fort Sumner, then as the sheriff of Lincoln County. It was here that he would first meet Billy the Kid, and where he would meet him for the last time.
Billy the Kid was born William Henry McCarty, Jr., in New York City, nine years after Pat Garrett. Billy’s mother moved the family from Kansas, where they had resettled, to Colorado after the loss of his father. Ultimately, they moved to New Mexico where he and his brother got a taste for the outlaw life.
Billy traveled the American Southwest and northern Mexico, stealing and pillaging with various gangs.

He and Garrett became acquainted while the latter was tending bar, and they formed a fast friendship–even allegedly earning the nicknames “Big Casino” (Pat Garrett) and “Little Casino” (Billy the Kid).
Their drinking buddy relationship didn’t flourish outside the rough-and-tumble oasis of a saloon. In 1880, when Garrett was elected sheriff, his highest priority was to capture the very man he had befriended: Billy the Kid.
Garrett made good in 1881, capturing Billy in a brief skirmish outside Stinking Spring, New Mexico. Before Billy could stand trial, he escaped.
Pat Garrett hunted Billy the Kid down in July of the same year, working with Peter Maxwell, a host of Billy’s who betrayed him to the sheriff in the bedroom scene.

The stories of the two entwined Wild Westerners don’t end there. Garrett took the unique step of writing Billy’s biography, The Authentic Life of Billy The Kid, effectively becoming the “authority” on the life of the man he killed. He contended that he wrote it to:
“…dissever “the Kid’s” memory from that of meaner villains, whose deeds have been attributed to him. I will strive to do justice to his character, give him credit for all the virtues he possessed — and he was by no means devoid of virtue — but shall not spare deserved opprobrium for his heinous offenses against humanity and the laws.”
Pat Garrett lived until 1908, working as a Texas Ranger, a businessman, and a part of the first Roosevelt administration before dying by violence himself. But he would always be best known as the man who killed Billy the Kid.

WHEN Wati Holmwood wobbled his naked way across ANZ Stadium in the dying minutes of the State of Origin decider, he was continuing a tradition that had its origins in the 18th century but only, er, took off in the 1970s.
The well-padded Wati - who faces a lifetime ban from the stadium and a hefty fine - joins a long list of high profile public exhibitionists with his antics, where he managed to evade a swag of security men as he streaked toward the try line.
From AFL and rugby union, to cricket, tennis, horse racing and even snooker, there are not many sports that have not been targeted by attention-seeking exhibitionists who go to great lengths to peel off their kit and expose themselves to much more than just public ridicule.
Here we will attempt to strip back the truth about streaking: who does it and why, and relive some of the streaking's most memorable moments.
The first recorded public streaker was in 1799. It was an Englishman and he did it for a bet, according to The Times.
There were instances of streaking on university campuses from as early as the 1800s but it surged in popularity in the 1960s when a generation was rebelling against everything, including clothing.

But it was the 1970s when streaking hit sports events in a big way, and it was an Aussie who led the charge.

After consuming quite a few beers, Michael O'Brien stripped off and charged onto the field at Twickenham in 1974 during a Wallabies-England rugby union match. He did it for a bet, a common reason for streakers.

An iconic photo shows O'Brien - who later returned to Australia and became a successful stockbroker - in the hands of police, a Bobbie's helmet strategically placed over his shortcomings.
The policeman who arrested him, Bruce Perry, told The Guardian in 2006: 'The streaker had been drinking Fosters ... and clearly he and some of his friends had an enjoyable time before the game drinking it.
'So he did it for a bet - he had to run across the pitch at half-time and touch the other side to win Pound10. I caught him just before he got there but when he explained the bet I let him touch the stand before I cautioned him.
'It was a cold day and he didn't have anything to be proud of, but I didn't think twice about using my helmet. We took him down to the nick but he was back for the second half.'
Eight years later at the same venue, buxom Erica Roe achieved even greater notoriety with her streaking effort.

In what has been described as 'the greatest streak of all time', Roe bounced - literally - onto the pitch during another Wallabies-England match.
This was a time when streaking - particularly at large sporting events - was a novelty act. While there were plenty of blokes doing it, Roe was the first female to cross the barrier.
Roe was 24 at the time and admitted she'd had a few bevvies before getting her top off and climbing the fence. She made the front pages, was offered modelling contracts, and earned thousands from television appearances.
She was last heard of living in Portugal, where she was running an organic sweet potato farm with her husband.
Roe was brazen but kept her pants on.

Later the same year, 17-year-old Helen D'Amico went further at the MCG during the VFL grand final, stunning the 107-000-strong crowd and millions watching on TV when she ran onto the field wearing only a scarf and tried to tackle Carlton champion Bruce Doull.
D'Amico's romp cost her $1000 in court, but earned her notoriety and near-legend status.
Her streak has been listed in the AFL's official handbook as a grand final highlight.
And, in 2003, Herald Sun football experts judged her run as the MCG's 20th most memorable moment.
After her fame died down, D'Amico disappeared, but was last seen in Darwin in 2008, where the mother-of-four and grandmother was studying. Like O'Brien and Roe, she was reluctant to discuss the moment that made her famous.

After this trio's pioneering efforts, streaking became rather passe.
While there have been a few notable exceptions - such as Melissa Johnson's nude run across centre court at Wimbledon before the 1996 men's singles final and the antics of professional streaker Mark Roberts, who has streaked 518 times, including at the Super Bowl; on a live weather forecast on TV; at Miss World; at the Ryder Cup; and at the bull running in Pamplona - streakers are treated as pests who should be ignored.
That is, unless you're a cricketer.

Greg Chappell famously slapped a streaker on the backside with his bat during a game in New Zealand in 1979.
And Andrew Symondswent one better at The Gabba in 2008 when he shoulder-charged a naked man who had run on to the field, sending the offender sprawling.

It made great television and was one of the rare times a broadcaster willingly left the cameras on the offender.
So, what motivates streakers?
While psychologists say the phenomenon began mainly as an act of defiance in the Vietnam War era, nowadays it's more simple: booze, money and fame.
Many are motivated by money. Either bets from mates, as in Michael O'Brien's case, or the promise of fleeting fame. Some even do it for pay, as a pair of yahoos did during an Australia-All Blacks rugby test in Sydney in 2005 when they ran naked on to the field with a mobile phone company's name painted on their torsos. Presumably they were compensated for the humiliation and the fines.
Mark Roberts is described as a professional streaker. He's been doing it for 20 years and has got his kit off at many high-profile events.

For many years he was sponsored by an online casino, and was even paid by artist Benedikt Dichgans to streak through the Tate Gallery in a pink tutu.
Roberts has been arrested more times than he cares to remember and wonders if it's all been worth it.
He told The Independent earlier this year that he was giving up public nudity for a proper job but that he'll miss it the buzz of running out in front of thousands totally exposed.
'It's addictive, making people laugh and seeing them on their feet, cheering,' he said. 'I need something else for the adrenalin. I might take up skydiving.'
Plenty of streakers, of course, are just plain drunk and are embarrassed by what they did.

And then there are streakers motivated to publicise a cause. Think of the PETA campaigns, which routinely feature naked models, and Femen which routinely organises topless protests against things such as sex tourism, religious intolerance and sexism in general.
And then there's Rachel Griffiths. In 1997, the future Academy Award-winning actor startled guests at the opening of Melbournes Crown Casino when she ripped off a kimono to reveal her semi-naked body in front of crowds.
She was upset at the city's loss of community. And you couldn't fault her rationale. When asked why she did it, she replied: 'If I didn't flash my t - s, you wouldn't have put me in the paper.'
