feces lawsuit
It doesn't get any more surreal than this
A grad student is suing Leeds Univ. for getting rid of his caca. He'd been studying the Butaan lizard in the Philippines for 7 yrs and had painstakingly sifted through their trails of dirt, collecting 77 lbs. of number-two (to help guess its diet), turd by turd, fleck by fleck, taking it back to England, storing it all in a lab. But while he was away from school, custodians mistakenly incinerated it. His entire 7-yr professional output . . shot. Nonetheless, Leeds's lawyers said, You're suing us for what? Daily Telegraph

You guys shouldn't poo-poo this guy's efforts to advance science.

sounds like the guy has a legitimate gripe....but before passing judgement, I'd need to know how it was stored in the lab..labeled petri dishes? a 55 gal. drum?
