Mystery blob eating downtown

That was the front-page lead headline in today's Los Angeles Daily News. I wish I could have been at the editorial meeting where they decided to lead with that one.

A mysterious black blob attacked downtown Los Angeles on Monday with a tar-like goo that oozed from manholes, buckled a street and unmoored a Raymond Chandler-era brick building, firefighters said.

One blogger noticed an unfortunate juxtaposition with the second-position front-page story.
