groovytypedetails are still sketchy regarding this extremely disturbing incident which involved dozens of local residents, police and emergency crews, and a few lines of some very strange javascript code.

authorities are still trying to determine exactly what happened at the groovytype lab located downtown. the primary question law enforcement as well as academia moguls want answered is how exactly did the ill-famed, but world-renowned webmaster known only as ‘fattygrub’, get his head wedged into a miniaturized web browser window.

this type of inter-dimensional activity was once thought impossible due to the theoretical “virtual limit” of standard web browser windows.

the unfortunate mishap began last wednesday at around 2:00am with residents and transients alike having their nerves rattled. scores of neighborhood residents called police with reports of ‘loud shrieking’ and ‘guttural wailing’ coming from the groovytype lab.

when authorities arrived at the lab they found fattygrub face-down in the facility lunchroom with ”a small web browser device clamped securely and inexplicably to the top of his head.”, said chief of police joey silver.

heroic firefighters worked several hours with the jaws of life but were unable to remove the offending window from fattygrub’s crown. ”i just can’t figure out how the darn thing works!” groaned the chief firefighter.

later the following day, surgeons were finally able to extricate the likable fattygrub from his mini-browser widget-trap after nearly 13 hours of rigorous surgery.

late reports from the hospital state that some of the swelling could be permanent.

fattygrub has refused to speak with the press or authorities regarding the incident. however, a recent patent search found fattygrub’s name on a u.s.patent application titled ‘means to improve widgets and toolbar buttons using inter-dimensional-osmotic-modified-javascript’.

authorities are unable to determine any specific dangers to the public and most computer scientists are simply speechless.
