Giant Lint Attack!

Head for the hills people! This enormous piece of thread is headed for the highway with murderous intent!

Whilst giant lint1 hasn’t had a history of going postal and engaging in psychopathic killing sprees (lint usually leaves that to the tomatoes), the angle of the giant lint’s knot can mean only one thing – the occupants of the cars on the highway are doomed!2

Thanks to Ron Nossaman.

  1. Yes fellow UK citizens, this is Kansas so it’s “lint”, and not “fluff”. ↩

  2. No. There’s no chance whatsoever that I am mistaken and in fact this is a very tiny piece of lint that has been scanned and blown up with the photo. None. ↩

Countries: Kansas

    Even if it was real, you anybody notice? This is Kansas, afterall.

    Live Maps shows a bare field with no trace of the thread. This seems to indicate that it is employing a scorced earth strategy.

    Luckily, this is only Kansas.

    Finally the proof the string theorists were looking for!
