 		[Update] : Amboy Monthly News 17 May
Quote:
Modified Mower Contributes to Fire

by Melody Heller, Amboy Monthly


Last night the Amboy Fire Department was called out to the home of Horace Greeley, to fight a blaze in his garage. Mr. Greeley was testing his lawn mower which he had modified for the up coming Lawn Mower Races.

"Unfortunately for Mr. Greeley, the modifications made his engine run a bit hot, which caused the grease on the chassis to combust and ignite a pile of dirty rags and some old paint cans nearby." said Fire Chief Ira Blume.

Damage was limited to the wall and ceiling of the garage, with Fire Chief Blume suggesting that a Clark County building inspector be called out to check the building structural integrity. "The wall should be shored up with some additional timber until that is done." The firemen helped set up a few boards to make certain the wall would not collapse until Mr. Greeley could call Don & Sons Construction on Monday.

Chief Blume said that it was the first time he had seen a fire started by a modified lawn mower, but there were many things people keep in the garage without considering the hazards. He pointed to several other old cans of s turpentine, a gas can that was full, and a few cans of oil, stating that once the fire gets to things like that, the fire could become much larger very quickly, and much more difficult to put out. "If anyone has things like these sitting in their garage that they haven't used in a long time, they should bring them to the Fire Station and we will see that they are disposed of properly."


Before he left the Fire Chief had one more request, "Please tell everyone that we will be having another Home and Yard Fire Safety Class on June 12th, at the Fire Station."

 		I wasn't involved with CtW, but a quick Google search gives a Collective Detective site with http://www.sonsofdon.com which is pretty similar to "Don and Sons Construction".

Other than that easter egg, anything else useful?

 		Well, this is the 3rd article we've had about lawn mowers so far. Maybe Alecia and Marcus will both join in the races and whoever wins will take control of TOBI. Both sides will have spies to see what the others lawnmower is like, and other people will be sent to sabotage the course so that only one will win. The rest of us can bet heavily on the outcome and either walk away millionaires or bankrupt. Then Hollywood can come in and make a cheesy movie of the week and we'll all be famous! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
