Slate's' Ben Mathis-Lilley notes that the New York City Subway twitter account tweeted that "witch problems" caused problems on a line today. Of course it was "switch problems," but witch problems conjures up all kinds of wonderful images of black-clad denizens flitting about, casting spells on the metro. Nothing like a little otherworldly interference from those on broomsticks with official transportation. Does this give a new meaning to the phrase "Damn Yankees"?
Here's the text of the tweet in question.
#ServiceAlert: 34 St bound #7 trains local from 74 St to Queensboro Plaza, due to witch problems at 33 St. See http://mta.info
