Colonel Sanders... SAVED!

Colonel Sanders rescued from river after 24 years:

A statue of the KFC mascot has been found in a river in Osaka, a city official said Wednesday, nearly a quarter century after being tossed in by crazed baseball fans who felt the image of restaurant founder Harland Sanders resembled a key team member."

Never understood how anyone could survive a swim in that river (much less 24 years in it) but I'm guessing it had something to do with those 11 herbs and spices.

Keith Olbermann even talked about it (and Orlando, no less) on last night's Oddball:
