This caught my eye in the printed edition of The Capital Times "...Ryan Engle's truck veered off the road as he adjusted his MP3 player..." TRUCK SPILLS COW INNARDS ONTO I-43 >From The Capital Times, Fri Feb 9 2007 A truck driver distracted by his digital music player tipped his semi-trailer on Thursday, spilling about 40 tons of cow intestines onto a major highway in eastern Wisconsin.
