Courtesy of Gridskipper (yet another arm of the Gawker empire), a handy tip to avoid the in-room coffee pot on your next hotel visit. 

Note the helpful explanation from the local sheriffs in Alabama -- "look for burnt red or orange coloring in the pot" as your cue to stay away.  Doesn't that describe just about every glassware coffee pot in existence after a few weeks? It gets better, though -- you can even watch the original evening news report on the website of WAFF-TV in Huntsville, Alabama (search around on "video on demand"). 

I love "public crisis" stories masquerading as news almost as much as "human interest" stories masquerading as news.
