STUDENT DRINKS LAB CHEMICAL ON A DARE
Man, if I didn't believe in Darwin before, I do now. There are some genes that are just not meant to be passed on. (By the way, why am I not surprised that this story happened in Texas?)
ODESSA, Texas (AP) -- A student who drank a chemical from his high school lab on a dare was recovering in a hospital, but not before a scare. The student drank the unidentified chemical on a bet at the school, said Nancy Smith, a UMC supervisor.
"We need to find out what it was from the toxicologist," Assistant Principal Ray Lascano said. "All of those materials belonged to one of the chemistry labs."
The student was found last Wednesday in a school hallway, bleeding from the nose and mouth.
I'll bet you this kid falls for "Pull My Finger" a lot. No confirmation yet of my suspicion that his last name was Bush.
You know, when people come into the hospital for things like this, I think it should be the doctor's right -- nay, duty! -- to deny the person treatment and resign them to their fate... it's a matter of the public good, protecting us from defective genery.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Texas, they're executing the mentally ill. What, you can kill off the mentally ill, but the mentally incompetent go to chemistry class in Texas high schools?
