My favorite is the Spotted Owl Census Taker in southern NM who started some fires. You can't make things like that up.

Yes, that was unreal. I posted a few articles on that, but the story only got as far as Albuquerque press. Don't these firefighters get seasonal umemployment benefits? Like people who work at race tracks and other seasonal professions? No fires, no money. Something wrong.

I think my favorite was the Forest Service biologists in Alaska that threw firecrackers at moose to scare them away....set the forest on fire (early this season), THEN the FS said they might consider changing their POLICY of using fire crackers....that gets the "give me a break award".
