Now that the maple syrup smell mystery is "solved", maybe Mayor Bloomberg's weird-stuff-in-NYC team needs to work on the odd case of the Staten Island Sound. A noise, described as a "loud," "heavy and low," and an "explosion," that occurred on Monday night is being investigated. The Staten Island Advance notes that its SILive.com commenters have no shortage of ideas, suggesting "everything from a mortar to a meteor to a sonic boom, to an exploding meth lab to, as authorities believe, one heck of a king-sized firecracker." A police source said, "As of now we have no idea. Nothing exploded in anyone's home or anything like that, and we checked all the power lines. ... We think it's probably fireworks." Like fireworks in NJ at a fireworks factory?

It was a leprechaun fart!
Weird noise puzzling Staten Islanders? Must be pages of book rustling.
Now THAT'S funny, TimSPC!!!
Did it come with a sudden flash?! Perhaps Staten Island is the mysterious island on LOST!
It's the moans of all the cultured, sophisticated residents sealed up in all those basements.
