Over 100 million US citizens sat spellbound on Sunday night when a materials joining failure led to the uncovering on prime time TV of a WMD - Weapon of Mass Disturbance, during the half time entertainment in Super Bowl 38.
The catastrophic joint failure at a fabric/stud connection point led to the fallout of 50% of a significant payload of biological matter.
The disclosure of the WMD occured during a routine investigation by Inspector Justin Totakealook.
Closer inspection revealed a nanosized protective cover, which was thankfully in position as a secondary safety device.
The presence of the WMD caused a mild panic in the game audience and the millions watching on TV and is now subject to a federal investigation.
A high ranking French official from the St.Tropez Town Council, present at the game, expressed his outrage at the outrage.
Editors Note: We appreciate there's little materials info in this one but we were simply amazed by the coverage (or lack of it) this story has received and we felt there had to be a materials angle! Should we be admonished for our flippant approach? Comments to [email protected]
