Blame it on being a science teacher. Gastric acid is around pH1. The pH scale is logarithmic - each number up actually represents a decrease by a factor of 10 of the hydrogen ions that constitute acidity. Therefore the Berkely pit is actually something like 17 times weaker than stomach acid. Sorry. “only slightly less acidic than gastric acid…”

Right. A heavy diet of male cow dung, then? “ARCO, the current custodian of the Pit, denied that the toxic water caused the death of the geese, instead blaming their deaths on their diet.”
