I thought this was HILLARIOUS...
Hackers are messing with electronic road signs in some states, warning of zombies and raptors down the road. But the traffic safety officials aren't amused. The latest breach came during Tuesday morning's rush hour near Collinsville, Ill., east of St. Louis. That's where the hackers changed a sign along southbound Interstate 255 to read, "DAILY LANE CLOSURES DUE TO ZOMBIES."
Similar pranks have been pulled in recent days near Indianapolis and in Austin, Texas.
The Illinois Department of Transportation's Joe Gasaway worries that such pranks distract drivers from legitimate hazards down the road, perhaps endangering road crews.

In Illinois, tampering with an official traffic control device is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $250 fine.
Honest to blog... If I see something like this on I-26, I'm gonna die of either laughter or by car accident...
from LAUGHING...
And really, why does the funny and INTERESTING stuff ALWAYS happens outside of SOUTH CAROLINA?
