"Wienermobile Crash"
WLUK FOX11 (July 18, 2009)
"The owner of a southern Wisconsin house might not be in love with the Oscar Mayer wiener right now.
"The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashed into a Mount Pleasant house around noon Friday...."

That's not the sort of thing I'd prefer to come home to.
UPI had a bit more fun with this story:
"Wienermobile crashes into Wisconsin house"
UPI (July 18, 2009)
"The Oscar Mayer hot dog company probably didn't relish the apology it had to issue after its famed Wienermobile crashed into a Mount Pleasant, Wis., house.
"Sydney Lindner, a spokeswoman for the company, a division of Kraft Foods
based in Chicago, said Oscar Mayer would work with insurance companies after an unidentified 22-year-old driver of the hot dog-shaped vehicle managed to slam it into a home Friday while trying to turn around on a dead-end street, WLUK-TV, Green Bay, Wis., reported...."
I know: this is a serious matter. But still: "...didn't relish the apology...." I suppose the driver feels that she didn't quite pass mustard today. Hot dog, though: those are photos you don't see every day.
There. I've got that out of my system.
No: there's one more. The UPI story concludes:
"...A tow truck was used to dislodge the Wienermobile from its pickle, the station said."
What put the wienermobile part-way into that garage seems to have been mistaking a gas pedal for the brake. I suppose it's a natural enough error, sandwiched in a dead-end street like that.

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
