|    Someone *Kill* a Back-Hoe for me.....


I was watching the local (Philly) news last night, and
saw a story that needed to be shared.

[Atlantic County, NJ] While attempting to wreck 
havoc on the world's telecommunications infrastructure, 
a backhoe mistook a gas main as a fiber optic cable. 
The evil yellow beast was destroyed in the resulting 
fireball.
