(via
Best of the Web Today) As if Manhattan didn't have enough problems, now they've been attacked by
a giant oozing Snapple popsicle.
The 25-foot-tall, 17 1/2-ton treat of frozen Snapple juice melted faster than expected Tuesday, flooding Union Square in downtown Manhattan with kiwi-strawberry-flavored fluid that sent pedestrians scurrying for higher ground.

"What was unsettling was that the fluid just kept coming," Stuart Claxton of the Guinness Book of World Records told the Daily News. "It was quite a lot of fluid. On a hot day like this, you have to move fast."
I can't wait for the movie version starring
Tommy Lee Jones. Or even
Bill Murray.
