Easter Smiles

You have to crack a smile at this stuff:

• CENTRAL GLENDALE — The large furry rabbit walking between Central and Garfield avenues Wednesday was no hallucination, especially for drivers who failed to yield.
  
  For an hour and a half, Glendale Police Officer Tom Broadway donned the eye-catching costume during an enforcement sting aimed at educating motorists to yield for pedestrians walking along unmarked crosswalks.
  
  Police cited 24 motorists on suspicion of failing to yield to Broadway as he walked across Central.

The accompanying picture is great:


And for those with a darker sense of humor, this story from Iowa:

• Des Moines police say two children on an Easter egg hunt have discovered a body at a city park.
  
  Police say two children came across the man's body in a wooded area at Beaverdale Park on Saturday morning. They were among 100 children participating in the park's annual egg hunt.
  
  Police say they don't suspect any foul play, and an autopsy is planned.

The police will be telling these stories for years.
