This Story Is Worthless Without Pictures. So how come there aren't any pictures on any news site where this story is posted? Wait... here are a couple, thanks to the Chicago Sun-Times (proud home of Roger Ebert)→[More:]

The special stop signs documented so far...
"WHOAAA"
"Stop ... and smell the roses"
"Stop ... right there pilgrim"
"Stop ... in the naame of love"
"Stop Means Stop"*
"Stop... or we'll hunt you down"*
"Stop means that you aren't moving"*
"Stop. Billion Dollar Fine"** (this one is not exactly good for the city's credibility)

*from a pictureless article in the Chicago Tribune
**according to 'Daily Southtown'

"Stop... the world I wanna get off"
"Stop... Thief!"
"Stop... the Madness"
"Last... Stop... Before Home"
"Cant... Stop... the Music"
"Stop... and Shop" (the city should get paid for this one)
"Stop... Payment"
"Stop... me before I kill again."
"Use Your Brake!"
"Cease and Desist"
"Pit... Stop"
". Full Stop" (Brits will love it; other won't get it)
"Pause... and Refresh"
and, of course...
"Stop... Hammer Time!"

NOT DADAIST.
Just a cut and paste failure.

Here's the article with the pictures (I hope)

"... driving."
"... me if you've heard this one before."
"... spelled backwards is pots."

"... me if you've heard this one before."

Okay, my mind is officially gone. That was the FIRST thing I thought of when I first saw the article but had totally forgotten it by the time I made my list...
