Minneapolis bridge collapse

I also read on Wikipedia that one of the rescue workers swimming around in the river was approached by someone who asked him if he had found any Mudkips in the river.

He replied saying that he was trying to recover missing persons.

The stranger replied by saying he was asking because he heard the rescue worker liked Mudkips.

Mudkips? wtf?

If that guy was trying to be funny, he failed. Massively.

And I know what you guys mean about the government fixing perfectly good roads. My dad drove me to high school every morning, and at one point, an intersection we crossed was put under construction. After a few months, it was done, and was better. a month later, it went under constuction again, and the end result made it even worse than the original original!

Yeah the mudkip bridge was a bit of a stretch, I think the joke kind of collapsed there. I was working towards more of a jab at how just a few hours after the incident Wikipedia was being cited as the source of startling information, when the following two facts are true:

  • The expert sources on the article at this point were guys who got the information from Fox News, who got the information from whatever they could get anyone to tell them.
  • If you were to put all of the Pokemon articles on Wikipedia together I have a suspicion that their wordcount could trump Dickens at his best.
