It was already down the tubes. It's in the sewage treatment center now.

For the record, I never thought humans couldn't get any stupider.

Yep.

But just the resemblance to the article it posted and the article I posted is quite odd...

I must say that several months ago when I first read about a hunter shooting himself in the leg, and then shooting for help and hitting himself in the other leg I have not been surprised by human stupidity.As Einstein once said, "If there is one infinite resource we can always count on, it's human stupidity."
Frankly, I must sadly agree with him.
