Reno, NV - Authorities were alerted to a figure spotted atop the massive geodesic dome of Reno's National Bowling Stadium today. Apparently, the man, later identified as noted oxygen aficionado Igneus D. McQueen, started yelling abruptly to pedestrians below, saying, "It's 10 o'clock! I've been up here for eight hours!

Authorities later investigated and found no anomalies, though several witnesses reported seeing the dome appear to "light up from the inside," in the words of one witness who preferred to remain anonymous, and a psychic who later visited the scene immediately passed out after mumbling something about "the energy." To be honest, this is all far above my paygrade. Regardless, if you came here for the Kingpins' new look, here it is:
