A HARVARD professor who specialises in environmental economics was arrested on suspicion of trying to steal a load of manure from a Massachusetts farm, a police officer said today.
Professor Martin Weitzman was arrested near the town of Rockport on April 1, Rockport police officer Michael Marino said.
Philip Casey, who manages a horse stable at the farm, had called police after finding Prof Weitzman and his truck on the farm and stopped him from leaving, Marino said.
The Harvard academic was charged with trespassing, larceny under $US250 ($326), and malicious destruction of property - because the truck left marks on the farm, Mr Marino said.
"He seemed a little befuddled standing there with a truck-bed full of manure," Mr Marino said.
Prof Weitzman then offered to pay for the manure on his truck, he said.
Prof Weitzman, whose research interests listed on a Harvard website include the economics of biodiversity and global warming, did not return calls seeking comment.
Mr Casey told the Gloucester Daily Times that manure thefts had been a long-standing problem

Hey...April fools was last week...
Well, Harvard has to get it somewhere.
Like there's not enough BS at Harvard! ROFL.
I hope they sentance him to mucking out the barns and stables.
This will just be too easy. lol
What a crappy post.......................... ;) ;) ;)

Manure is such a NICE sounding word when you think of it. It has "Ma" and its "Newer." (paraphrasing George Costanza).
Why steal it when you are full of it?
I can understand trepassing and larceny, but "malicious destruction of property". Are truck marks "malicious"? Are truck marks on a farm in any way destructive? I'm seeing more and more charges that are trumped up beyond the actual offense. This stinks.
that was a funny episode...by the way we still liked you better than tessio. :)
...especially since Tessio was actually an inspector for the NYPD working undercover. Think his real name was Fish...
LOL
It makes me feel a little old that I actually get what you two are talking about. :)
It's been my experience that professors are themselves a source....able to produce and supply plentifully that which this professor purloined.
(My quaker parrot can talk, can Your honor student fly?)
LOVE THAT LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
:-)
My dog can crap bigger than your parrot :) :) :)
Must have been some good sh..
More toilet humor.
Thomas Crapper probably was born in September 1836, since he was baptized the 28th of that month. Crapper did have a successful career in the plumbing industry in England from 1861 to 1904.
Mr. Crapper invented the toilet bowl lololololol man I love FR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was just gathering class room material for his lectures no doubt!
it
Surely these post will go down in the anals, of history................................................
We had to rely on an Australian site for this story? Was the American MSM asleep at the switch or were they too busy trying to borrow some of it to dump on Congressman Armey?
"Professor Martin L. Weitzman Ph.D. MIT Primary fields of interest:Environmental economics and economic theory. Research Topics: Environmental economics, economics of biodiversity, limits to growth, green accounting, discounting and the economics of global warming."
The RATs and all their fringe groups have really gone 'round the bend...
I guess he took his Ph.D. (Pile it higher and Deeper) to heart .
LOL!....nice one!
I am only of average intelligence. I am NOT a high falutin' college perfesser.
However, when my garden requires natural fertilizer, I go to my local stable and ASK. Guess what? They get out their John Deere tractor and load it up for me.
In turn, we take them some of the tasty produce, and we're all happy.
..."My heifer has shore been a might gassy and drippy here lately. I woulda done give that there feller all the cowpies he coulda toted."
good point
:<) Yup
Re Post 27 ... shame on you ....

I didn't know Haavrd was an ag school.
When I saw the headline, I knew it couldn't be Ward Churchill - he'd never have to steal manure, he generates tons of it all by himself.
He learned lesson that there ain't no free lunch in Amerika, no sheeet! Them professors, they learn, teach and then die stupid.
Sounds like big pile of manure, he needed more?
You would think Harvard would have enough manure already on campus, without sending out for some.
Maybe the professor is a terrorist who planned to make ammonium nitrate bombs from the manure.
Dick Armey retired from Congress some time ago. You mean Tom DeLay?
this chucklehead's class is called "methane madness"
Yeah....it's been a long day; my apologies.
What? Did he steal a textbook on enviromentalism?
...or use the crap to grow hallucinogenic mushrooms...
