Well, this thread is OBVOUSLY the wrong place for real news.
This may be better:

I think the fire was started by space aliens, BTW, but that’s just me. ;)
Note, I stopped taking the thread seriously at about the 60 post mark. I was hoping my “funny” posts would calm some people down, in that they would see not all are taking this seriously, nor should they. At least the “OMG” part should not be taken seriously.
Uh Breaking News sidebar IS the place for real news.
I did not do any OMG posts or think it until I came to YOURS.
If you feel it is good idea to post humor on Breaking News thread to diffuse worry, how about you indicate it instead of letting someone read it in Latest posts.
After all, it is at to of Breaking News Sidebar, not Breakfast Bagel recipes vanities.
