For all the Texas folks...

DALLAS (October 19, 2012)—Big Tex, the iconic symbol of the State Fair of Texas, went up in flames Friday morning at Fair Park in Dallas.
Only his hands were still intact.
The fair’s vice president of marketing told WFAA-TV in Dallas an electrical short appears to have been the cause of the fire.
Witnesses said flames engulfed the 70-foot figure within five minutes, WFAA reported.
Other details weren’t immediately available.
