Some high fructose corn syrup was spilled in my town yesterday
And everyone within fifty miles died instantly. We should enact an absolute ban on this invariably toxic sludge immediately, for the good of public health.

2. Don't worry.
Acupuncture can bring them back to life. And after a little aromatherapy you'd hardly know they'd been dead!

3. I suppose there was no evacuation
since everyone would be instantly too obese to move without the aid of the Fire Department. Just getting near that stuff is risky. :sarcasm:

5. Yes indeed! Freakishly weird
Not quite the point I was making, of course, but any time you can use "molasses" and "disaster" in the breath, it's a win!
