David Dreier and Joe Baca are Investigating!
As I have previously mentioned, I often use blogs to learn the latest news. Therefore, I must thank Jimmy Akin for alerting me of the mysterious disappearance of a Texas city with 1.2 million inhabitants. Full story here...courtesy the Weekly World News.

The mysterious disappearance of the city that seems to have been situated at an unknown spot west of Dallas came to light when an off-duty Texas Ranger found Karl Benner, 42, stumbling along a rural highway with the brick in one hand and the phone book in the other....

"Physicists tell us there's a possibility Benner might have arrived in our world from a parallel universe where a city by the name of Brimbaw, Texas, exists alongside towns like Dallas and Houston, which also show up in our world."...
