The attack of Skunkus Dinosaurus...
Yesterday the day dawned bright and the birds sang however, there was a foul odor in the air and it grew worse as the day went on.
A chat show on the radio had callers describing the smell the covered the cities of Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and Dilworth and could be detected as much as 10 miles away. Yes we were caught in a stench the size of a dinosaur!
I loved the guesses in this stinky mystery:
The lies of Bush and Cheney are beginning to reek
NDSU cow barns having a fart
a warehouse of rotten eggs
Industrial fart
The BEet Plant.
One woman who was driving in from Barnesville, MN even remarked that it was either the beet plant or the fossiled remains of skunkus dinosaurus have been found and it was letting the stink off.
Of course the local beet plant, American Crystal Sugar denied initially and said it was perhaps a dead animal or two along the river. IMHO, one dead animal would not give off a stench to cover 20 square miles.
AS of late last night MPCA and the EPA traced it back to the beet plant. Their explanation... We stand by our assertions.
IT was foul!
