Here's a serious piece of local WTF-ery, which just made the Yahoo News page and ABC. Two of our grad students (who take a morning class over at WSU) happened on the scene of one of the hit-and-run incidents shortly after it happened and said their first thought was that a major water pipe must have frozen and broken, to account for the chaos and fire trucks around (very logical, given the recent temps).

It turned out the reality was *far* stranger . . .
