Yosemite National Park is expanding:
Yosemite National Park in California is to gain a 400-acre addition, its largest expansion in nearly 70 years. Ackerson Meadow features wetlands and rolling hills that are home to endangered wildlife, park officials quoted by AP news agency said. The land, on Yosemite's western boundary, was bought for the park by conservation group the Trust for Public Land for $2.3m (£1.7m).
Yosemite National Park covers about 1,200 sq miles of mountainous scenery. It attracts millions of visitors every year and celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2015. The new addition, which was traditionally used for logging and grazing cattle, will be preserved as habitat for wildlife including the endangered great grey owl, the largest owl in North America, the officials said.

I've never seen a sarcasm detector this far out of whack. Not sure what to tell ya, buddy. I think you're going to have to buy a new one entirely.

"Dude, I was, like, 'detecting sarcasm'."

Damn, that's bad. You might have to replace the whole humor system.
