The staff of Chicagoist woke up this morning with a general feeling that something was amiss. The news wires were lit up with stories of flying cars jumping over expressway barriers and giant reptiles terrorizing the south suburbs. All of this on the heels of yesterday’s house explosion in Lockport. Luckily the man, woman and dog living there escaped unharmed.

Hey, it’s a big city, and strange things are bound to happen every once in a while right? We can’t wait to see what Friday the 13th brings next week!
