#MyFavoriteMurder talked about a (long ago) mysterious death between Vermillion, SD and Alcester, and honestly, I'm just surprised there haven't been more. There's probably 6 people and 4,275 cows living in between there, and nothing else but highway.

The grants his report highlighted definitely looked like they were selected by AI, because they made very little sense, and provided a small amount of levity in the grants world with their inaccuracy.
