Shocker: Mystery Stank Has New Jersey Origin

...or so they suspect.

The gas-like odor that hung over Manhattan's streets was gone Tuesday, but city officials were still trying to pinpoint its source — and eyeing New Jersey.

Charles Sturcken, a spokesman for the city Department of Environmental Protection, said Tuesday that his agency was pretty sure the source of the smell was along New Jersey's industrialized waterfront, just across the Hudson River from New York.

"The way we tracked the dispersion of the smell and the prevailing winds indicates that it came from New Jersey, somewhere near Secaucus," Sturcken said.

...

"It may just be an unpleasant smell," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a midmorning news conference Monday.

Secaucus is (was?) the home of MSNBC. You know Chris Mathews can do some damage when he eats Mexican.

New Jersey, the Dog You Blame Your Farts On State.

Via Wardrobe Door. Aaron's got the trailer for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I was wondering why bother, but this one's all-CGI, so it's a little different than the old ones, I guess. It looks (and I mean "looks" in the literal sense) kinda neat.
