Chicken fat leak

I love headlines you don’t have to think about. Or maybe that you don’t want to. The point is, if an article headline is good enough, I shouldn’t have to read the article. So a big tip of the hat to the New York Times for this little gem.

Chicken Fat Leaks Over 20 Miles

Sorry, I had to size it appropriately. From the article:

A truck leaked poultry fat along 20 miles of Route 13 on Tuesday, causing at least four crashes and making a stinky mess.

[...]

Sergeant Bunting described the grease as a “glassy film” and said crews sanded the road. He added that the gunk stuck to tires and spread to secondary roads, causing a “really funky” odor.

Well damn.

Also, The Onion is famous for headlines of this formula. My latest favorite is Fat Kid Successfully Avoids Ridicule By Swimming With Shirt On. The headline says it all.
