Forensic Gardening

I was watching a CSI rerun a few minutes ago. Chemical analysis of a young victim's blood shows a high level of PESTICIDES. They get get a warrant and search the family's gardening shed. The CSI technician looks at a bunch of plastic containers in the shed. The last one she looks at is labeled with a skull and crossbones - poison! - but is also clearly labeled as WEEDKILLER. She emerges triumphant with the weedkiller container as evidence.

Hey, guys, weedkiller is not a pesticide. Weeds are plants. Pests are bugs. I'm not much of a gardener, but that much I know.

After this botching
Of the investigation
I had to stop watching
Out of sheer frustration.
