What happened to the news today?

Yes, dear reader, not 'what happened in the news' but 'what happened to the news today?'.

Firefox has a very useful gadget called Morning Coffee where at the click of a button your preloaded websites come popping up together. Every morning I make a coffee, press the Morning Coffee icon, take a few sips and start to read the morning news from around the world.

After weeks of monotonous news about white/black pop stars popping off this mortal coil, and politicians being crooked (who'd a thunk it?) this morning I was flabbergasted to see the following ASTOUNDING headlines;
  • Southwest Inspects Planes After Hole in Fuselage
  • Upcoming Military Robot Could Feed on Dead Bodies
  • New Jersey Woman Struck by Ambulance While Sitting on Porch
  • Father Dies Trying to Save Son From Irate Driver in Chuck E. Cheese Parking Lot
  • Motorist Plunges to His Death After Driving Over Edge of Grand Canyon
I mean each of these headlines can be discussed over the water cooler in their own right, but all of them together? What a start to the day!

And to cap it all off my sister just told me that my 13 year old nephew at stay away camp has come down with the swine flu.

kthanxbai!
