J Larsen Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 When all is said and done, they'll find some way to blame it all on New Jersey. Looks like Randy wins the prize; the radio just said it was from a chemical facility along the Jersey shore. As for my original theory, they are saying that a temperature inversion yesterday morning (hot air on top of cold instead of the other way around) trapped the odor close to the ground. Looks like it was wind driven after all. Read the thread again. This is what I wrote in the first place, except they think it came from Secaucus - not Bayway. Sorry, once the prize has been awarded it can not be retracted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Larsen Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 We know Jersey stinks. I used to take the bus from Princeton to the city on the weekends - holy crap!!! It's especially bad when you pass through the town with the gigantic Budweiser factory (can't remember exactly where that is, but if I recall correctly it is fairly close to the water).

Randy Twizzle Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Watch out NYC, one of our buffoonish NJ assemblymen is out to take your money Jersey pol smells lawsuit in stink flap BY DON SINGLETON DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER A New Jersey politician is sick and tired of the Garden State being made the butt of jokes from across the Hudson - and now he's talking lawsuit. "We should sue them, and sue them bad," Assemblyman Louis Manzo, a Jersey City Democrat, huffed yesterday as he recalled the many slights New Jersey has suffered, largely from New Yorkers. What pushed Manzo over the edge, he said, was all the finger-pointing at New Jersey during Monday's Big Stink. When the mysterious odor enveloped lower Manhattan, it was promptly blamed on New Jersey. "What we ought to do is sue New York for all the environmental damage they've done over the years - all the New York garbage that was dumped illegally in our state, all the environmental damage," he said. The idea of suing New York started out as a joke, Manzo admitted. "But now people are saying it's a good idea." The indignities include ancient myths of "Jersey mosquitoes" the size of sparrows, smelly pig farms in Secaucus and gangland burials in the Meadowlands. "They ought to take a look at Secaucus today - it's clean and beautiful," Manzo said. "Just about the only stinky thing over that way lately was [New York Giants head coach Tom] Coughlin's play calling last weekend." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
