This is a hilarious article when it comes to an exploding "weaponized cow" Kimball supposedly invented, but I can't find a source that verifies this person and/or his invention. I don't know how this article wasn't caught as a hoax by a patroller. TheGGoose (talk) 17:15, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete but not exactly as fabricated because Books actually found links here for a Enoch Kimball from Massachusetts particularly Essex (including other places such as New Hampshire) so he may've actually existed but as there's not much with these, delete and WP:TNT. Pinging past editors Comatmebro and Rberchie. The cureent vwrsion simply seems to be a juvenile's playful version. SwisterTwister talk 17:35, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
