While reading highlights from the Snopes (Urban Legends) site I chanced upon the article: "Working with Idiots Can Kill You!" - about doctors finding a direct link between heart attacks and "working with stupid people".
The article appeared on Yahoo about 3 years ago - after it appeared on another news source - The Weekly World News.
I used to love reading The Weekly World News. Where else could you find headlines like:
* B52 Bomber found on Moon (including photo of said plane in situ)
* Alien found dead clutching half-eaten cheeseburger
* B54 Bomber disappears from Moon (including photo showing Moon which indeed was now without plane).
While it may be a news source, the Snopes description seems remarkably apt and accurate: ... the Weekly World News, an entertainment tabloid with its
tongue firmly embedded in its cheek to a depth not measurable by any instrument known to man.
But it had some great stories!
