It's actually from yesterday, but still priceless (via National Journal):
A big splash occurred on Monday morning at the House Press Gallery in the U.S. Capitol.No, this wasn’t one of those unexpected guest appearances for celebrities to talk to reporters about some favorite cause.
This splash came from an exploding urinal. More specifically, something suddenly broke in the piping of the third-floor urinal, and water began spewing from beneath the men’s room door.
As the water flowed, it first surrounded the Associated Press’s working area, then spread toward both ends of the gallery, which was occupied by fewer than usual reporters and staffers, because the House is out of session until Tuesday.
Capitol Police officers, gallery staff, and other U.S. Capitol personnel moved to contain the flow. In doing so, they found a use, finally, for the gallery's stacks of unread newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals, as makeshift sponges and sandbags.
So much irony, my head might explode.
I propose a new tagline for the Old Gray Lady: "All the news that's fit to print sop up raw sewage." Thoughts?
