How appropriate!

Here's a little gem from today's National Post:

A Harvard professor who specializes in environmental economics was arrested on suspicion of trying to steal a load of manure from a Massachusetts farm. Professor Martin Weitsman was detained near the town of Rockport on April 1, Rockport police officer Michael Marino said yesterday. Philip Casey, who manages a horse stable at the farm, had called police after finding Prof. Weitzman and his truck on the property and stopped him from leaving. The Harvard academic was charged with trespassing, larcey under $250, and malicious destruction of property -- because the truck left marks on the ground. "He seemed a little befuddled standing ther with a truck bed full of manure," Mr. Marino said of Mr. Weitzman.
