PHOTO: Backhoe operator advertises a creepy “Halloween Special”
If hard work can’t be fun sometimes, what’s the point? That being said, not too sure how long this side business is going to last. Not exactly the type of action you want to advertise. This photo has made the rounds in just about every corner of the Internet, so its origin is kind of […]

Discovering a piece of history has to be a great thrill. And construction workers building a new math lab at the University of New Mexico got to experience that thrill last week when they knocked out a wall of the school’s library and found a time capsule.
