Here in New York, the things it’s advisable to avoid, lest our health and life be comprised, are known quantities: snot-faced children on the subway. Pedicabs. Dirty-water hot dogs.

On the rare occasions that something new or scary does appear in our midst, it’s just a loose coyote or Glenn Beck. Nothing otherworldly. Not unlike the poop bubbles that are growing on an Indiana farm. Poop bubbles that have a history of hurting people.

Last year, a hog farmer in Hayfield, Minn., was launched 40 feet into the air in an explosion caused by methane gas from a manure pit on his farm. He sustained burns and singed hair.



Thank God these can’t grow in New York. We just don’t have the space for it.
