Pittsburgh, PA's 33-story Grant Building famously spells out the name of the city in Morse Code so brightly it can be seen for over 100 miles. Except it doesn't actually spell Pittsburgh, but "Pitetsbkrrh." Eep.

A former HAM radio enthusiast and Pittsburgh local, Tom Stapleton, decoded the message and posted the gaffe on YouTube, and it clearly shows the tower's misspelling. He said he noticed the problem when he casually looked up and saw the signal broadcasting the letter K, which he remembered well as it's the first letter of his sister's name. Too bad "Pittsburgh" doesn't contain the letter K. Representatives of the tower's owners could not say how long the tower had been advertising Pitetsbkrrh. [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]

This has been a bad year for Chuck E. Cheese stores across the US. Several incidents have occurred at the child hangout since early on in 2009.

But, most recently, a tragic incident took place after an altercation in the parking lot of a Chuck E. Cheese in The Bronx, NY, this weekend.

Douchebag 36-year-old Mark St. Pierre allegedly had an argument at the parking lot of Chuck E. Cheese with his wife around 6 p.m. He then took off in his 2008 Infiniti and headed down the street speeding at almost 60 mph while crashing into two parked cars as he sped out.

But after speeding 10 blocks down the road, St. Pierre almost ran over a 6-year-old boy on his tricycle crossing the street with his dad. Instead, the child's father, 36-year-old Miguel Colon, pictured above, pushed his son quickly out of the way to safety and took the hit.

Sadly, Colon died on the scene after saving his son's life.

Meanwhile, a-hole St. Pierre kept driving down the street about four more blocks and injured over a dozen more people while hitting several cars on the way until his car was too totaled to drive.

Witnesses at the scene quickly grabbed St. Pierre and held him until the cop could arrive.

The little boy's mother revealed that that Colon "really loved his son. He was always there for him. It's going to take a lot of therapy for my son to understand what's going on."

As of earlier today, charges were still pending, though that shouldn't last long. St. Pierre needs some serious mental help and some time in jail!

P.S. Maybe they should stop selling booze at Chuck E. Cheese???

"Man Dies After Fall Into Chocolate Tank"

What a way to go! CLICK HERE to read the article accompanying this headline.

Man Dies After Fall Into
Chocolate Tank

CAMDEN, N.J. - Police said a 29-year-old man died Wednesday morning after falling into a tank full of chocolate at a Camden business.

Police were called to a warehouse and manufacturing facility on the 700 block of North 36th Street around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday for a report of a man who had fallen into hot chocolate.

According to authorities, the man was working at Lyons and Sons, which leases space to Cocoa Services. That company takes raw chocolate and melts it down to send out to other companies who use chocolate.

Police said the man was standing over the vat of chocolate and was dumping the chunks of chocolate in when he fell in. At least three people turned the emergency shut off, but it was too late because one of the paddles had apparently knocked him out. The chocolate was 120 degrees.

The man had been in the melting pot for about 10 minutes by the time crews arrived. He was declared dead shortly after 11 a.m.

The turnout gear of firefighters at the scene was covered with chocolate, as were the clothes of an obviously distraught co-worker who was being consoled by an EMT.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been called in to investigate, Fox 29's Robin Taylor reported from the scene.
