It's survived by a stream and numerous tributaries
I glanced up from this morning's newspaper just in time to see the following headline accompany the local TV station's report on various Saint Patrick Day's observances across the country:
And, yes, I'm well aware of the sheer hypocrisy involved in the creation of this post, given my skill at generating typos.
Chicago River Died Green
Which may be an answer for the logical question that always arose: if they could make it green on St. Patrick's Day, why couldn't they make it blue the rest of the year?
Posted by: Bret at March 19, 2007 01:24 PMCompletely ignoring your point (and Beth's), I must confess that I find the idea of a blue river kind of creepy. If it's all the same, I'd prefer mine to be transparent.

Ok, this is the first time my brain has functioned well today - Enjoy while you can hehe!

Since I'm fairly sure the Chicago river is as nasty today as it was when I lived there, I'm guessing that the cause of death was envy, not environmentalism.
