It used to be a decent site for weird stories that didn't get national coverage, kind of like FARK. For the longest time now, it's all lunatic fringe, conspiracy nut, doomsday, anti-semitic, anti-Bush crap. You're lucky if you find one story in 20 that is realistic, and then they kookify it. If they had their way, the world would continually be coming to an end from Fluoride, Mad Cow, man-made viruses, UFOs, Israeli intervention and Republicans.
I'm sure if they could work it out somehow, it would involve cybernetic chimps and evil, hermaphroditic circus clowns as well.
I traded them out for FARK.com a long time ago. It seems like most of the radio DJs are checking FARK and Smoking Gun now too.
The site link is irrelevant. I live here and the story was reported on all the local news stations. I just found that link with a google. The story itself is several years old.
