Do you think this is a sign of our hubris, carelessly casting aside a once precious and rare resource? Or could it be a sincere sacrifice to the gods to ensure that the toilet paper harvests are always bountiful and we never return to the lawless and paperless days of old?

On today's episode of "Things I Find While Walking My Dog," I am wondering what in the “Dyatlov Pass” happened here?! Two pairs of underwear and a sock found within feet of each other.  Don't you just hate it when your hiking party is so lit that a compelling unseen force causes you to engage in precocious undressing as you run screaming into the night? Not sure if this could be connected to the blanket in front of my neighbor's house a block away, but the only possible witness was found injured nearby. He is currently not cooperating with questioning and refuses to speak.
