Got any odd/weird news?

Here's a breaking story happening now here in Indy (Sept 27th): http://www.wthr.com/story/19656437/chemical-spill-closes-riley-hospital-emergency-room

If a patient brought it in wouldn't you investigate? I mean, what chance is there the paitent brought it in by accident?

Here's the recipe for not having to deal with shitty news anymore:

1. Get Google News (+Google Account)

2. Remove all the shitty categories (Gossip, Health, etc)

3. Remove all non-quality/tabloid newspapers

4. Adjust the frequency of the remaining quality newspapers based on your personal/political preferences

Why do you think anyone reads the Daily Mail.. It's shitty news, but it's damn funny - especially the reader comments. Am I right @Infinity?

Aye, I read Daily Mail and the comments when I'm terribly bored and want something to laugh at, not as a reliable news source. Although some comments are plain dumb and offensive.

You should read the Foxnews Optinions when you are really bored, it's always funny :)

@gsrdgrdghd Yeah, DailyMail is like the UK equivalent but without the politics :P the editors/readers are just dumbasses.

The editors aren't dumb. They're targeting a specific audience.
