We interupt your regularily scheduled programming to bring you this news alert:

The Associated Press is reporting this morning that the state of Nebraska is under a palm tree advisory alert. In numerous locations around the state palm trees have been sprouting from the ground and growing to enormous proportions in a matter of mere hours.

Although no officical report has been issued, and in fact a gag order is in effect for this outbreak, it appears that ground zero may be a little known research facility in Nebraska. This top secret facility also known as the "Condello Institute for the Creation of Ludicrously Proportioned Blue Gill."

Officials are warning Nebraskan's to stay away from any seedlings that resemble palm trees until further notice.
