I hope that was carelessness or an accident, not someone's idea of a practical joke or malicious intent.

AMers are dropping like flies these days. Almost monthly I hear of another passing.  Inevitable.

 The tusks that clashed in mighty brawls
Of mastodons, are billiard balls.

The sword of Charlemagne the Just
Is ferric oxide, known as rust.

The grizzly bear whose potent hug
Was feared by all, is now a rug.

Great Caesar’s bust is on the shelf,
And I don’t feel so well myself
