    Default News headline of the year...

    Not only is the headline one for the ages, read the guy's quote about the dog (3rd paragraph down)...

    Mushroom pickers lost hope, considered eating dog

    By JEFF BARNARD | Associated Press – Mon, Feb 6, 2012


    GOLD BEACH, Ore. (AP) — Dan Conne says he and his wife and son thought they were going to die after getting lost while picking mushrooms and spending nearly a week in the rugged forest of southwest Oregon.

    They spent the nights huddled in a hollow log and considered sacrificing their pit bull, Jesse, for food.

    "She's that good a dog, she'd have done it, too," Conne said.

    But help finally arrived Saturday when a volunteer helicopter pilot decided to look outside the search area and spotted the family — Dan, his wife, Belinda, and their 25-year-old son, Michael — on the edge of a deep ravine in tall timber. The three were about 10 miles from the town of Gold Beach, roughly 330 miles south-southwest of Portland.
    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade... then find someone whose life gave them vodka, and have a party.

    There so much fail, and such potential for the Darwin selection process in the story; I don't know where to begin.
