We know there have been many international tragedies of late, but here's another story that just makes you wonder about the justice of the universe: A truck carrying tons of Oreos tossed its cookies on the highway, shutting down traffic for hours in a mess of wasted brown-and-white chocolate deliciousness.

Is ... there ... no ... God?

The details are almost too painful to recount. Recently, on I-80 in Illinois, a truck hauling about 20,000 pounds of cookies crashed into the median and veered into a lane going in the opposite direction. The driver wasn't hurt, but the accident ripped a hole in trailer, spilling its cargo onto the road.

We feel bad for the driver, but that's the way the cookie crumbles (alright, alright, we couldn't help ourselves).
