    I wonder if the Alvin the Chipmunk was involved… 😉

    That’s nothing compared to the day Teddy Ruxpin was released! He was programmed to give detailed instructions on how to build a nuclear warhead. A 6 year old was credited with successfully building one, and blowing up Buffillo, New York. The federal government kept a lid on it ever since, which is why nobody ever visits there anymore, and why Teddy Ruxpin was quietly pulled off the market.

      I thought the “Buffilo Blast” was the reason the seas rose 3′ by 1997 (according to the IPCC)
