Teach Me About the Great Lakes

Our second annual Halloween special

Show Notes

GREAT LAKES BOOS WIRE REPORT, DATELINE LAKE MICHIGAN, USA
Lake Michigan has claimed another ship as the remains of the S/V Donut were found on the lake floor yesterday. It isn't clear what happened to the boat, or its passengers, but they seem to have met some sort of unpleasant end. The only notable contents found inside the wreck were a maple leaf-shaped toque, a pair of gloves shaped like the state of Michigan, a rusty saw of indeterminate age, and an ice chest containing, oddly enough, a stack of hotdog buns and about a dozen dead gobies. The hat, gloves, and saw were given to the police as evidence and the contents of the ice chest will be auctioned off in eastern Europe, where apparently people eat this sort of stuff.
