Mayor O'Laughlin exclaims there's nothing wrong with Love Canal formerly owned by Hooker Chemical.

Despite the fact that it was contaminated with thousands of tons of highly toxic waste (including dioxin).

Mayor O'Laughlin made a laughably inaccurate claim that Love Canal was safe despite the toxic sludge oozing from the ground and the significantly abnormal rate of miscarriage and birth defects in the region.

Love Canal was a former dump site for Hooker Chemical.

And thus was created the most insanely unfortunate series of oddly apt puns possibly in the history of humanity.

Truth truly is stranger than fiction.

1. I remember that, too.

Before that crud started to leak, it was buried in metal containers. They were warned it would leak, but they decided to put a housing development right on top of it. Love Canal was your side of the thing; Bloody Run Creek was ours.

That stuff is still in the Great Lakes, by the way.
