            A rash of hacked road signs across the mid-west are warning motorists about invasion by zombies and raptors. All the details are here.

            Not just in Austin anymore? And the media is part of a cover-up? Basskurds. Who's at the top? Is it connected to the Tokyo volcano? The former mayor of Detroit?
The former mayor of Detroit is covering up the truth about the Tokyo volcano to draw attention away from the fact that he has created an army of zombie raptors to restore him to power as the ruler of the Duchy of Flint.

            As amusing as I find it, I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to apply one of the new "anti-terror" laws to the perpetrators. I'm equally surprised the news aggregator blogs published the passwords.
They get away with it by saying, "Don't ever do this, but if you are going to here's how."

Well sure! They do us all a great service by letting us know how to do these bad things, so that we can avoid doing them. I don't know how many times I've almost accidentally hacked a road sign before thinking "Whoops! I almost made a boo-boo!" :P

I like how they also let you know in which states you might be able to afford the fees:
"In Illinois, tampering with an official traffic control device is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $250 fine — half what a culprit might have to pay in Texas if caught. If convicted in Indiana, a culprit faces up to a year in jail and $5,000 in fines." Clearly, the bargain-hunting hackers will head to Illinois.
It's like the highway signs in Pennsylvania listing escalating fees for different speeding violations. They always make me think "Maybe I can budget going 85, but not 100..."

            Well, that explains what got into my stash of stolen road signs. And here I thought a rust monster had snuck into my corner of existence.
That's what we need - a D&D aficionado to program one of those things to say something like "Beware! Rust Monsters ahead!" or maybe "Danger - Roadway ahead undermined by Bulette."
