And you thought Katrina's floodwaters were a toxic gumbo....

The Bavarian village of Elsa was flooded by pig manure when a tank containing 240,000 liters of the liquid fertilizer burst.

The main street of the town filled with the rank substance to a level of almost 20 inches. Some homes and buildings experienced flooding of their ground floors.

A police spokesman was quoted as saying, "The village was swamped with green-brown liquid--the mother of all muck."

Damages were estimated at 100,000 euros (currently $119,000).

I hope they had flood insurance.
