Some Cop Killed Big Bird, Apparently
Today, the cast of the children’s television show Sesame Street is mourning the loss of Big Bird. Authorities say Bird, 40 years old but always 7 in mental capacity, was hit by a patrol car while taking a break from filming “Follow That Bird 2.”
Funeral arrangements will be made by Jennie-O and Foster Farms.

Actually, in all seriousness, here is the Missouri Highway Patrol press release that made me snicker a bit…I couldn’t help but be reminded of Big Bird.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported that one of its patrol cars was damaged when it hit a bird in Cedar County Wednesday. There was no information about whether the driver, Larry D. Stoddard, 31, of Springfield, was injured.
The report stated that Stoddard was driving the 2007 Ford west on Cedar County N, four miles east of Caplinger Mills, when he drove upon a large bird standing at some road kill. The bird took off and struck the car, damaging the windshield, driver’s side mirror and spotlight, according to the report.
The damage from the incident is estimated at $500 according to the Patrol.
