  As it so happens, it did nearly kill him. Some locals beat the shit out of him afterwards.

  But hey, he said he could afford the fine, so I’m sure he could afford the medical bills too.

  Fun fact: NOAA, although not a military service, is considered one of the 8 “uniformed services” of the US, which includes the 5 military services, the Coast Guard, NOAA, and the US Public Health Service.

    I just imagine them handing out some Beretta 9mm’s to some lab technicians and them being told “You’re getting sent to Seattle. Find this guy”

      “Ice him”

      “Decrease his carbon footprint to zero”

        That second line sounds like a comedic Bond villain line.
