MAN STUCK IN MUD PLAYING POKEMON GO

A 62-year-old man had to be rescued after he became stuck in waist-deep mud while playing Pokemon Go at night in the woods behind his upstate New York home. Police in the town of Coeymans say the man was playing the virtual creature-hunting game on his cellphone around 2 a.m. Sunday when he wandered into thick woods behind his home. He became trapped in a mud pit up to his waist and couldn’t get out. He used his phone to call 911, who guided an officer to his location by pinging the man’s phone and the officer’s.
* A 62-year-old man playing Pokemon at two in the morning. OK, what really happened?
* At least blame the Ambien. It’s less embarrassing.
* He called 911 with the phone? But that meant he had to stop playing the game.
* This is strange. You don’t often hear of a phone being used for something important anymore.
* Knee-deep in mud – but enough about the Democratic Convention.
* Based on the trajectory of all these stories, I’m calling it: Pokemon will eventually lead to our extinction as a species.
* In fact, future anthropologists will simply call us Pokemon Man.
