WALDEN POND FULL OF PEE

In Massachusetts, Walden Pond, the once-pristine pond some 25 miles west of Boston that inspired American naturalist and philosopher Henry David Thoreau in the mid-1800s, has been befouled by generations of swimmers urinating in the water – so much so that it is wrecking the ecosystem and devastating the fish population. According to a new study, there has been a surge in the pond’s levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which are found in human waste. That, in turn, feeds the algae that spreads across the water and blocks the rays of the sun, which fish also need to survive.
* You can’t spell Walden Pond without the P.
* Thoreau would be pissed.
* Hey, wait – this is all HIS fault for making it famous. What a dumbass.
* If this news doesn’t keep people out of the lake, I don’t know what will.
* You’re supposed to take a look at the lake, not a leak in the lake.
