A man ice fishing on Lake St. Clair got an unexpected shock when a vintage Big Boy restaurant statue floated beneath the ice directly below where he was fishing, according to authorities. The fisherman said he noticed a large shadow moving under the ice. “At first I thought I had a really big fish under me,” he said. “Then I realized it was a Big Boy.”
Officials believe the statue, which had been removed from a former restaurant location near the shoreline, entered the water earlier and remained buoyant enough to travel beneath the frozen surface. While the ice didn’t break and no injuries were reported, several residents who spotted the statue contacted the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The DNR says it is working to locate and safely remove the statue and is reminding the public to report large debris or hazards observed on frozen waterways, especially during periods of fluctuating winter temperatures. –MacumbDaily.com

Note that although there is a Macomb, Michigan, and there is a MacombDaily.com, there is no town named “Macumb”. MacumbDaily.com appears to be a parody/satire website.

I fell for the story until I visited the Macomb Daily website to see if there was any more to the story, couldn’t find it, then checked the spelling and perused the other site. It’s still clever.
