Poop bubbles threaten Indiana

Media_httpfarm3static_csrvb

In what sounds like the plot out of second rate horror flick, a farmer in Indiana is battling giant bubbles of livestock feces. Yep, you heard that right—poop bubbles. Dairy farmer Tony Goltstein of Winchester, Indiana gathers his cows’ fecal matter in giant lagoons and, in 2006, he noticed small bubbles popping up on the crap lake. Zip to four years later and those small bubbles have grown to the size of small houses.

In an effort to control problem, Goldstein asked state regulators for permission to pop the bubbles, but officials nixed that idea citing a case in Minnesota last year when a hog farmer flew forty feet in the air following an explosion caused by methane gas in a manure pit. Oh, crap!

This sounds like a dream job for a 12 year old with a Red Rider BB Gun... or a gutsy teen with a bow and arrow, some lighter fluid, and a book of matches.
