Cowabunga Dude!

A Missouri sewer worker was disconnected from his safety line and flushed away last Tuesday. He road the wave for over a mile remaining in the pipe. Upon rescue he had to be treated for hypothermia. He was also given antibiotics (one of the most horrific quotes of all time follows) "because he may have swallowed sewage."

Was it Disney or MGM that I read was thinking of making a ride out of this story. Something like a water slide hooked onto the end of one of their hotels.

Also reminded me of the family guy parody of shawshank, when the narator describes the exit route then says "why he chose burrito
