The City of Kentwood, Michigan, (population less than 50,000), believes terrorists are targeting its water tanks, so they will gladly terrorize anybody who dares photograph these tanks.

However, they haven’t done anything about the pictures of the tanks on the city’s website, which are posted above and below, putting the entire town at risk to any potential terrorist savvy enough to do his research online.

But they did send out a message to self-described nerd Ed Heil, a 40-year-old computer programmer, who was caught photographing these very same water tanks last week.

“It’s a nerdy thing I like to do,” he explained to the Grand Rapids Press.

But Kentwwod officials did not buy his folsky demeanor. When they spotted him photographing the water tank, utility workers demanded to know his name and the reason why he was photographing such a prime terrorist target.

3. Water tanks are 'prime terrorist targets?' Who knew?

I can imagine the terrorists plotting in their terrorist lair: 'let's blow up their water tanks so they have to drink bottled water for several weeks! They won't be able to bathe in their own decadent infidel homes! They'll be soooo inconvenienced! Muahahaha!'

4. If they want to fool those terra ists they should paint the name of a different city on the tower.

Like maybe Chicago.

Or maybe they should paint a cross on it to protect themselves from the terra ists.
