This is kinda weird; in my home town, too

The saddest bit is that it may be gone forever.

Or maybe that's not so sad.

I suppose it was accidently left behind by a wandering tralfamadorian...

 

It even looks like an alien...

 

Why a duck? What have the Romans ever done for us?

Never thought about checking the virus database. LOL

It was found in a cooling tower which has since been knocked down, and there are no more... I find that incredibly sad.

 

That's pretty close, really. And he was English...

It would be funny if the advance party of an alien invasion force was inadvertently wiped out by an overly-enthusiastic Bradford council employee anxious to get to the pub.

(Actually, the more I look at that picture, the more I think somebody is having somebody on.)
