A BAVARIAN village was flooded by liquid pig manure after a tank containing 240,000 litres of it burst, German police said today.

Sewage rose to 50cm in the courtyards and streets of Elsa after gushing from the tank.

"The village was swamped with green-brown liquid and it was pig manure - the mother of all muck," said Rainer Prediger, a police spokesman in the nearby town of Coburg.

Police estimated the pig waste had caused at least 100,000 euro ($161,590) worth of damage.

Wel, first take a jumbo cargo plane and fit it with autopilot and fill it with pigshit. Then, when the hajj rolls around, crash it into that big rock they love so much.

One might be inclined to wonder why a 240,000 litre vat of pigsh!t was located on ground sufficiently elevated to allow for this.

That's a good question, but if I had a fleet of crop dusters, I'd be planning "Operation: Rain on Ramadan".

No, beyond foul is the Swiss using it in water cannons to break up demonstrations.

It's one european idea we should borrow.

It's a byproduct of keeping pig breeding and feeding operations clean. It's stored during bad weather and spread in the spring for fertilizer.

I think I was there ~ up wind of the place in fact ~ if this is the ville out near the border with the nasty pig manure tanks.

Sounds like it's gotten "better".
