Just a bunch of things I think are interesting or funny.

If the simple country life includes this, I'm moving to New York

When people dream of getting away from it all and moving to the country, there are certain things they picture in there heads: wide open spaces, amber waves of grain, purple mountain majesty and perhaps a white picket fence. I doubt that anyone has ever dreamed of a 2,000 ton pile of manure. But these massive dung piles do exist near large feed lots. But that's to somewhat be expected, all those cows just can't hold it in until its convient for us.

But the fact that these huge dung piles catch fire at an alarming rate is more problematic. Click here for story. CNN reports that a huge pile of manure has been burning for the last three months just 20 miles outside of Lincoln, Neb. I wonder if this is God's way of doing the old flaming dog doo prank on the entire city of Lincoln.

    "And over there on your left is our smoldering pile of shit. Named "schmitt" by some local boys, this 3 ton pile of cattle dung has been on fire at least partially for the last 3 months. Notice the stench as we pass by. We've had so many requests about that scent that we decided to bottle it and sell it. You may purchase "Scent du Schmitt" for $10 at our gift shop at the end of the tour. Also available, miniature pills of real cattle dung that come with a special match to allow you to have your own pile of burning shit in the privacy of your own home."
