London's Wall of Fat

Posted on 13:02 by Unknown
Sewer workers in London are on a mission to remove walls of solidified fat from underground drains.

Where's Mike Rowe when you need him?

It's estimated that 1000 tons of fatty deposits are blocking parts of the sewer system, or roughly the lipid count of the weekly visitors to the Ohio State Fair. Why there's not a cross-marketing opportunity with the manufacturers of Crestor is beyond me.

It's rumored that Ricky Gervais is working on a development deal to turn this into a ten-episode comedy for HBO.
