Fort Collins middle school students sickened by mysterious odor

What did I just say? Another mysterious odor story. There are loads of these! I have no idea what it means, but suspect it has something to do with the antichrist.
Or global warming.
Or a third, less frightening thing.

Honestly, usually I just try to deliver the news in a way that's neither entertaining nor not entertaining, I don't usually get involved in, you know, the politics of the whole thing, but not only is the writing of this article silly to the point of hilarity it also contains chilling quotes from the youth of today.

Like a middle schooler lamenting the fact that she had to leave her kindle in her locker.

Or the reporting reporter saying that there was "an army" of firemen and police.

::sigh::

Anyhoo. The usual, weird smell, no one can identify it or agree what it smells like and some people can't smell it at all.

Mysterious, Triangle-Shaped Alien Skull Found in Peru

You know you can trust your sources when they put the word "scientists" in "quotes".

"It has a non-human appearance because the head is triangular and big, almost the same size as the body. At first we believed it to be a child's body until Spanish and Russian doctors came and confirmed that, yes, it's an extraterrestrial being."

So it was either a deformed Peruvian child or an alien. You know, one or the other.

Mysterious Odor Returns at School

This is a classic style bit of mysterious news, the old "mysterious odor" story. You have no idea how many of these stories there are and like excuses and buttholes, they all stink (UGH.)

What's great is that whatever this mysterious odor is, it's causing nausea, headaches and eye irritation and even though they don't know what it is, they know it's not coming from the school (even though everyone in the school is smelling it).

How about this ominous bit of a closing line?
