Not cool but Halloween timely:

Hanging Mistaken for Halloween Decoration

(10-27) 10:55 PDT Frederica, Del. (AP) --

The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said.

The 42-year-old woman used rope to hang herself across the street from some homes on a moderately busy road late Tuesday or early Wednesday, state police said.

The body, suspended about 15 feet above the ground, could be easily seen from passing vehicles.

State police spokesman Cpl. Jeff Oldham and neighbors said people noticed the body at breakfast time Wednesday but dismissed it as a holiday prank. Authorities were called to the scene more than three hours later.

"They thought it was a Halloween decoration," Fay Glanden, wife of Mayor William Glanden, told The (Wilmington) News Journal.

"It looked like something somebody would have rigged up," she said.

Do the Germans have a word for something like this -- so sad, yet so comical?

'Schadenfreude' means finding joy in others' pain (especially if the other is a famous/high-ranking person).

So maybe this is 'Freudenschade'?

well, that's when Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block begins -- to them it's a prime slot.  But it does make me consider getting TiVo...

I taped it but haven't watched yet. Maybe after I get home from the improv show tonight- although I'm usually pretty tired after that. So, probably watch it Tuesday.

I don't know when adultswim plans on rerunning them- but yer welcome to borrow said tape when I'm done, RGMike!

Yeah, I stayed up (too late) and enjoyed it, but still can't get over the  n-word stuff.  It break my heart to see my students use this word, in the same week as Rosa Parks passes on.

Oh well...I would have to say that the way Aaron McGruder uses it is about as OK as I can take.  Maybe Chris Rock too...
