WTF

Tourists taking the highway to Hel will no longer be able travel on bus route 666 after religious groups said the reference to "the number of the beast" - viewed by some as a harmless joke - was "Satanic stupidity"

The route is being renumbered 669.

I am SO NOT a fan of stories that try to debunk things with "NOT" in their headline. "This crazy thing X is NOT true..." is a terrible and lazy framing. It does more to emphasize the untruth because people can gloss over the one negating word.

The better way is to emphasize the perpetrators of the hoax: "Crazy social media posts suggest fake crazy thing X". That has a greater impact and people remember that the source of the claim is problematic.

The content on Coast to Coast AM used to be fun, if weird. Now it's the most boring, mundane, derivitive, tabloid made-up crap. It's not even creative or interesting.

In a Venice canal, police investigate mysteriously green waters : NPR
This is TOTALLY Fluorescein dye. Common. So annoying that news media make things so dramatic and promote misinformation.
