I like this click-through item in the first story:
View Images: Gas Odor Detected In NYC

No thanks.

Maxine Weiss said...

Gee, this site sure requires an awful lot of clicking.

Peace, Maxine

I think this will just be a big stink about nothing.

It's raining in NYC -- I wonder how far Natural Gas could be transported outside during a rainstorm before it's washed out.

Curious story.

The internet needs scratch and sniff capability.

Ken Stalter said...

Furthermore, why is it January in Boston and the weather feels like late April?

Charlie Eklund said...

Troubling, to say the least.

My bad...I thought the second link in your post said the dead birds were in DC.

Many fulsome apologies!

"Gas Odor Detected In NYC"

Anyone bet money against Letterman using this headline for at least 3 jokes?

I think my favorite Letterman NYC joke was when he had a string of jokes about how hard it was raining then said, "New York City, the city that makes its own gravy!" then insert a yipping noise, funny faces and pulling on your jacket to make your tie dance.

Pogo, does John Waters have a blog?

sonicfrog said...

What, did the birds take the subway?

The internet needs scratch and sniff capability.

No! It doesn't! Trust Me!!!

No, it really doesn't.

I wonder if this is related to the mysterious pancakes-and-syrup smell that permeated the LA area and several other cities a year or two ago.

The gas is in NYC, the dead birds are in Austin. Am I missing something?

Miasmata, a belief that disease was caused by bad air. Popular theory through the mid-1800s until John Snow pioneered the epidemiological methodology that proved cholera was passed by drinking diseased water.

See also The Ghost Map, Steven Johnson.

Good - I don't like birds.

The Jets returned from Foxboro.

LOL! So bad. So true.

And no, Mr. Gore's brainchild doesn't need scratch-and-sniff capabilities.

Especially at 6 AM in the morning, when I am posting on Ann's blog with a scorching case of halitosis.

I speak for many.

Cheers,
Victoria

Miasmata seems to actually exist. Lung cancer is a disease caused by bad air.
