In Florida (where else?), we have the prize for ... what do I want to call this? The prize for "never has so much graphic detail gone into mapping out a more trivial incident" (though I guess it wasn't trivial for the guy who got killed).
This news story (courtesy Obscure Store) is about a 93-year-old man who hit a guy with his Gold Chevy Malibu (excellent detail) and then drove three miles with the body stuck in the windshield. The story features:
- two detailed maps
- photo of the car windshield (minus the corpse)
- photo of the driver.
Plus three reporters are credited with the story. They were all over this story in St. Petersburg, Fla. That's the kind of thoroughness lacking in the search for the WMDs.
Oh, the excellent detail picked out by Obscure Store: the driver went through a toll plaza, paying his toll, and the toll taker thought the body sticking through the windshield was a "Halloween prank."
And then, because I'm too lazy to watch my own TV and blog about it, I'm going to refer you to someone else's blog entry about a funny thing they saw on TV last night. It is pretty funny, though, and worth reading.
