Most Overwritten Prose of the Month award

I came across this site about the Fort Peck Dam while idly reading urban legends on snopes.com. The story that the bodies of workers who died working on the Hoover Dam were left inside the concrete is false, according to Snopes, but there are dead workmen entombed inside the Fort Peck dam. I haven’t found the details yet, and I fear I never will because the Fort Peck website is written in such an excruciatingly elaborate style that any factual content it may contain is probably entombed within it forever.
