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.

"Now, how do we get a repeat performance..."
Actually they are but lowly plagiarists. If memory serves, in the 70s in the USSR a jilted ex-boyfriend drove a septic tank at night right to the house where his ex-girlfriend was celebrating her marriage - and pumped the contents of the truck (several tons) into the window of the newlyweds' room. The story got into newspapers, and he got several years for aggravated hooliganism, IIRC.

I read that as the BOLTON molasses disaster and all kinds of weird thoughts came to mind.
