Something smells fishy in Redondo, California.

That’s right, there’s been another massive fish kill.  This time, it’s not a river, but a portion of the ocean.  Millions of dead sardines are clogging up King Harbor Marina in Redondo Beach, California.  Now, it’s up to some distressed city workers armed with shovels and scoops to make with the cleanup, a project that is expected to cost well into the six-figure range.  There’s no culprit this time, no poison or disease.  This fish kill was caused by, essentially, bad luck and confusion.

“They are in every slip and every dock,” said Californa Department of Fish and Game spokesman Andrew Hughan. “It’s a whole lot of fish.  If they turned right instead of left, they’d be fine.  It’s just bad luck.”

Experts believe that the fish were pushed into the harbor by a serious storm that hit the area last night.  The fish depleted all their oxygen and ended up suffocating themselves while stuck in the harbor.  Hence the millions of dead sardines, and the subsequent epic stink of thousands of pounds of dead fish.

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
