Puking Draws Battery Charges
So this 17 year old student at Olathe Northwest High, KS, was all worked
up at the end of the year. So worked up, in fact, that word is he puked
all over his Spanish teacher! David Young, the teacher, swears it was
on purpose and Puke Boy now is facing charges of battery against a
school official.
Should he lose the case, he will likely be placed on probation (no puking
on people for 6 months, perhaps) and will also be required to apologize to Dave.
Along with the misdemeanor charges, the hurling wonder has been expelled
from school and it has been recommended that he find a new place to continue
his education.
The kid's defense: he was made ill by the stress of final exams and did
not mean to bless the teacher with his breakfast.

Hypothesis: Proven
Nathan Woodard and Nathaniel Gorlin-Crenshaw are two precocious eighth graders
in Amherst, MA. They worked for 7 months on their Massachusetts State Science
Fair project, investing much time and money in equipment and testing.
Their hypothesis? BB Guns are dangerous, can be deadly, and should not be used
by children. Shooting into about $200 worth of ballistics gelatin, they were
able to prove how the bb's can rip through human flesh, and wanted to share this
new information.
Seems that the Science Fair big wigs already thought that BB Guns can be dangerous.
In fact, that's the reasoning they used to deny the boys'entrance into the competition.
Nancy G. Degon, vice president of Massachusetts State Science Fair Inc. stated, "The
scientific review committee does not consider science projects involving firearms to be
safe for middle school students."
If only the kids (and their parents) had checked the rules of the competition 7 months ago. Drat.
