Must have been an iceberg


Posted at 12:01 am by Jon Bauer, Herald staff

What iceberg?

It must be true; it's on the Interwebs: A Friday Harbor blogger was forced to admit that a photo he had posted showing a sinking Steilacoom II ferry had been faked.

Had the ferry actually been sinking, Washington State Ferries would have immediately ordered a multimillion-dollar study outlining options for bailing water from the vessel.

We interrupt this broadcast: On this day in 1938, Orson Welles staged his “War of the Worlds” radio drama, which featured breaking news reports about an attack by flying saucers from Mars that many listeners believed was real.

Of course, it's preposterous to believe that anyone today watching breaking news reports on cable networks would be tricked by breathless reports about little people in saucer-shaped craft.

Popped for his weasel: Police arrested a Florida man who had shoplifted a ferret from a pet store by shoving it into his pants. Along with theft the man could be charged with using a “special weapon” because he took the ferret from his pants and shoved it in a young man's face.

The Buzz says throw the book at the guy. We'd push for charges of assault with a deadly mammal and carrying a ferret without a concealed weasel permit.
