Now I ain't sayin he's a...

I didn't believe Jessica at all when she told me this after work today: a California man was just ordered to stop digging for gold when authorities found that he had an unsupported sixty-foot hole in his front yard. His top-of-the-line metal detector alerted him that he had gold in his yard, and when he found gold dust three feet in the ground he hired two more men and just kept digging.

When police officers came on the scene, they found two men using ropes and buckets to hoist dirt sixty feet up and out of the hole. If anything, I admire the guy for his persistence. As a kid I started digging for treasure, lava, and China dozens of times but never got more than a few feet.

On the other hand, I hope Rob Corddry picks this up soon. ;-)
