And now for something completely different

Here's your newspaper headline 'o the day: Sign hacker broadcasts zombie warnings.

Someone reprogrammed two city construction road signs near the University of Texas early Monday morning in an attempt to warn Austin of an imminent zombie attack.

Messages that typically alert Lamar Boulevard drivers to a detour for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard splashed several warnings like ?Caution! Zombies Ahead!? and ?Nazi Zombies! Run!!!?

As he drove south on Lamar, traffic controller Bruce Jones saw the first sign flash the Nazi zombies message at 6 a.m. and wheeled his truck around for another look. Then he said he noticed that the second sign, directed at northbound drivers, had also been tampered with.

Now you understand why I can't wait to start grad school in Austin this summer! A most grateful hat-tip to the good folks over at QuizLaw.
