    Legg Lake Closed Up ; Now a Crime Scene

    South El Monte, Ca. April 1, 2018

    Authorities are currently curtailing all model boating activities at this local county facility until the identity of what appears to be a human body that floated up on the course during a model boat race this afternoon can be established. Model boat racer Ernie Farquard was interviewed by local homicide detectives and explained that during what model boaters call a “heat race” something large and tree trunk-like surfaced on the front straightaway, creating confusion among the racers as well as the Contest Director, who was responsible for calling out the locations of any obstacles in the path of the race boats. While this investigation is still in the preliminary stage, some local boaters on scene expressed concern that this may be the remains of a model boater last seen a week ago trying out what could best be described as a horribly overpowered hobby-grade boat and had been cautioned about using common sense advice from those with long term experience which was ignored in favor of information picked up from an un-named model boating forum.
    Further details will be forthcoming.

      Some folks just won’t listen to reason. They have to be protected from themselves by outlawing all R/C boats. This action by the California legislature will save hundreds of lives each year and billions of dollars which would be much better spent on the bullet train!

        Recent research projects sponsored by the California legislature have not surprisingly concluded that it's not guns that kill people, it's most likely the bullets. Given these results the bullet train project will be cancelled pending a referendum by 2nd amendment advocates.

            Nice one, Tony... :)

            Though, I'm guessing it wasn't quite as funny when this actually DID happen many years ago...

                Is that why they named this lake, Leg Lake.

                    So it was in a body of water.
                    In its hand was it holding Excalibur?

                              In view of the inherent life threatening dangers associated with this popular model boating venue, many forward thinking competitors have elected to protect themselves by donning appropriate safety gear :
