Homeopathic leak threatens catastrophe
An accidental release of highly dilute homeopathic waste from a research institute in Swindon has lead to calls for the centre to be shut down. Plant operators have admitted responsibility for massive safety blunders after a spilled drop of an enormously dilute test product was cleaned by a caretaker, and in complete disregard of all safety procedures, allowed to enter the water system after he emptied his mop bucket down the drain.

This will undoubtedly be beneficial for all humanity.

With luck, it might even open the Minds of some of the the Poor Twisted-Soul So-called 'Scientists' who are so Pathetically & Tragically Enmeshed in Materialism!

That's something every Enlightened Human Being must cheer!!!

3. My God!
The more it gets diluted in the water system, the stronger it will be.
When it reaches one particle in a trillion, it will devastate the population.

5. "Clearly if this reaches the sea, it’s game over." rofl.
Local Fire Chief, Boutros-Boutros Jones gave a frank account of the current situation; ‘We have to accept that we’ve lost the battle locally, two water treatment works may never be safe to use again, but the fight to contain this and prevent further dilution is still on. Clearly if this reaches the sea, it’s game over.’

:P

15. The problem with homeopathic medicines in the US is that they're next to real medicine.
In a Walgreens here I went I checked it out and what do you know, this BS is all over the place right next to real medicines...IN A MOTHERFUCKING DRUGSTORE!

19. Wait!
Why don't they dump tons of the material into the water supply, thereby diffusing the potency.
