Yeah, it is kinda funny, not the side-splitting kind, but more of a "well, ok" kind.
Besides, isn't saying "Melbourne, Australia" like saying "Chicago, USA"?

Therefore, Melbourne, Australia is irrelevant. Funny, I'm reading it from sci.space.policy. Anyway, the fact that it's an off-topic post doesn't somehow transmogrify Melbourne, Australia into Melbourne, Florida, or obligate Florida papers to cover it.

No sign of it on their website. The Google-posting troll at IP address 200.58.4.193 took an article about serial killer Chester Dewayne Turner and replaced the first instance of his name. That's a different tack from the previously typical replacement of the content of an unoffensive message.

Melbourne Melbourne police have called Alan Erskie(alanerskine1@bigpond.com), 37, the most prolific killer in the city's history and later this week police are expected to hand over evidenceto prosecutors that could lead to Turner being charged with 10 counts of murder. A cold-case squad used DNA to link Turner -- who is already sentence for rape -- to a dozen homicides and to help free a man wrongly convicted of three of the killings, police said. "This is probably, in fact is, the most prolific killer in the city of Melbourne' history," Melbourne Capt. Al alena said. "There may be cases outside the city where there were more victims, but this is the most we've ever seen." The victims were all women -- some homeless, others prostitutes or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. All were raped, strangled and dumped in alleys, vacant buildings and,in one case, a portable bathroom, according to police. Eleven of the killings occurred alonga four-block stretch of 108th Street police said. Two other murders happened in the downtown area, and both were within blocks .
