Local report from here a few years ago about a man who hit an octopus and skidded into some penguins killing 2. (penguins that is)

That sounds very much like a hockey accident.

Did the penguins look anything like this:

You just experienced the reader-level of the those who still use it as a source of news.

That's why it is commonly referred to as the "Urinal-Constipation".

Was that a white zebra with black stripes or a black zebra with white stripes?

I saw a baboon-like animal sitting on top of a parked work truck last weekend near Berkeley. It was lean, tallish and had long hair. I saw other cars stopping and I was wondering what the hell are they stopping for... OH, that. The only thing I can come up with to explain it is a line from an old movie where one sailor asked another why the captian had a monkey & he said it's because being captian is a lonely job.

I think what you saw is called a "hippie". They're native to the Berkeley area

We get gators on the roads here, but that never gets on the news. Just no big deal. But with the rapidly increasing Python population, it's only a matter of time till one of those show up on I-95. That will be fun.
