An American tourist who ran naked through a peaceful Swiss town, vandalized a church and escaped from police clutches by jumping into a lake could have been on hallucinogenic mushrooms, a local magistrate said.
The 34 year-old from Massachusetts, who has since been allowed to return home, ran amok in the western town of Morges, by Lake Geneva, two weeks ago,
He started babbling incoherently in the hotel lobby, stripped and ran naked along the quayside, broke a stained glass window in the nearby protestant temple with a stool and set a precious 1898 bible alight, police in Morges said.
After being seized and handcuffed by police, he made a leap for freedom into the lake and bit two people who tried to help him while he was hanging on to a boat. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/08/0 ... 9k7v2.html

I can't believe anything wild happens in Switzerland.
I saw complete strangers get into a fistfight over the correct time.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.
