CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Police said Monday they were investigating a foul-smelling gunk that showered tourists taking a boat tour of the city.

Witnesses on the Chicago's Little Lady architecture tour Sunday afternoon saw a large black tour bus dumping liquid waste as their boat cruised under the Kinzie Street bridge on the Chicago River, said Anita Pedersen, spokeswoman for the tour boat company. More than 100 passengers were on the boat when the waste poured onto the upper, open deck.

"I can only presume that perhaps it's human waste. There was a very strong smell to it," Pedersen said.

Police spokesman Carlos Herrera said police were investigating how the passengers came to be covered by the mess and exactly what it was.

1. According to the Chicago NBC affiliate tonight...

...some woman on the boat with presence of mind got a partial license plate number. The bus -- which was black and with no windows -- has been traced to some musician on tour. No mention of who.

Despite the police investigation, the mess appears to be exactly what the scatalogically minded think it was.
