Of course, then you’ve got people who, instead of figuring out their own layout, lift it from somewhere else. [Thanks to astute reader Jason Kottke for pointing this out.]

A search on Altavista for “animal carcass obliteration” turns up a link for the Cat Fancier’s Association web site. Weird.

I wonder why this site was shut down.

This weekend my brother and I heard on Michael Feldman’s “Whad’Ya Know” radio show, a hilarious description of an instructional brochure called “Obliteration of Large Animal Carcasses” or something similar. It was developed by the Missoula Parks & Recreation Department or the Missoula Department of Agriculture. I’ve been searching for this document on the web but have turned up very little. Let’s see what you can find.
