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.
Pull on it, I bet it unravells the world
Wow Andrew, how very… bleak.
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!
