Three intoxicated transient men were discovered camping inside a large plastic inflatable colon around 2:00am today by Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies. The discovery came after a deputy on routine foot patrol heard strange noises coming from inside the colon. “The men had apparently passed out and were snoring. It’s a good thing the deputy found them because they had left a small campfire burning and the wall of the colon had already started bubbling,” said Sheriff’s Public Information Officer Cookie Pinsker.
The Giant Colon is a popular exhibit that makes stops at health and science fairs around the country. The colon, located in the fairground's patio area just south of the food court, was due to open to the public today. Giant Colon spokesman Clive Funderberg said security issues are rare. “There is a flap on the end of the colon but no locking device. We’ve never had a problem before.”
