Well, my news is not nearly as interesting as Pete's

Gang-

My news isn't nearly as interesting as Pete's, but in my usual morning take from the usual tabloids and urban legends sites, I found something that looks like it might have some meat to it. A story about a trucker who claims to have run over a -werewolf- just outside of a small town in Tennessee. The 'interview' said he saw a human shape on the road ahead of him and didn't have time to swerve or slow down, except that an instant before contact he swears he saw a wolf-like shape made of 'liquid mercury' running into the woods. He stopped, but there wasn't a body, just a skin, apparantly human.

The article in the 'paper' (I use that term loosely) said that the local medical examiner said that there was no damage to the skin.

Now, that wouldn't be the strange thing, except that there's also a missing person's report, actually, five of them, from the same place. Local high school students, and since I can't find any report of them being found, they've been missing at least a week.

As much as I appreciate the weird and mad, we have other things to look at today. Five missing kids is sad but I'm not sure how they tie into a sleep deprived truck driver's hallucinations, and we don't have the time to chase down fables right now, squire.

It isn't like you to just give us random weird articles out of the thin air. What about this one stood out?

We should talk about this over the lunch I nearly missed due to spending the last two hours with a deck of tarot cards and every news article on Magneto I could find. I hate that man.
