What Kind of Students Go Here?
Dang, this is two school-related items in a row. Uncool!
Anyway, Pansy Kidd Middle School is a real place in Poteau, Oklahoma. It's named for Pansy Kidd, a very nice woman who did a lot for education in the area.
Who YOU calling a pansy?
But even so, the Pansy Kidd M.S. mascot seems to be trying a little too hard to make up for any perceived sissiness!

Man, I'd Love to Go to School on This Bus
What do you get when you drop the engine of a Phantom fighter jet into a school bus? This:
This school bus can go 367 mph. That means you'd BETTER be on time when it comes to your bus stop, because it's not waiting around!

Stuffed Animals Held Hostage?
I saw this while biking the other day. And then I had two thoughts simultaneously:1.) That's not very nice!
2.) Coool.

That's a LOT of Foil!
Chemistry professor Scott Bur works at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota. And every year, his students play a practical joke on him...or more accurately, his office. This year, the theme was foil:
Yep, everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in Bur's office was wrapped in foil. Chairs, books, and the floor were covered. Individual pens on Bur's desk were wrapped. The tissue box was covered in foil, as was the tissue sticking out of it. (The prank took a week to do...tear-down will probably ju...

The School Library Journal reviews GROSS STUFF!
This [book's:] pages are packed solid with disgusting information on an array of topics ranging from the predictable (vomiting, farting, burping, pooping) to the less obvious (corpses, shrunken heads, childbirth, and Rocky Mountain oysters).The author includes many historical anecdotes and interesting bits of gross trivia (did you know that the Apollo 11 astronauts left their defecation collection devices on the moon?). There's an extensive bibliography, which is rare in this type of book.
