You’ve got to be kidding….
A British design company have launched a new product to help children concentrate at school – pre-chewed pencils.
The company, called Concentrate, says the pencils look like they have already been chewed making pupils less likely to put them in their mouths.
And they say this is a cheap but effective way of encouraging youngsters to get their teeth into their lessons instead.
Concentrate specialises in products to help kids at school and identify why they get distracted or are unable to focus in class, claim the chewed end encourages them to get thinking straight away.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tampa police say three teenagers tried to steal an undercover police car with the officers still inside.
The police report says the officers saw the teens looking into parked cars late Monday night. The officers followed them in their unmarked police vehicle, pulled into a parking lot, then waited.
Police say the teens walked toward the car with screwdrivers, a flashlight and a piece of concrete in their hand.
The officers then got out of the car and chased the teens. Two were arrested. The third got away.
Police say the teens admitted they were going to steal the car and that they didn’t know it was a police vehicle.
The teens, ages 15 and 17, were charged with auto burglary, possession of burglary tools and resisting arrest without violence.

Nice!
If Harold Jones offers you gum — do not take it!
Why? The former North Carolina college maintenance worker has been charged with a felony for food tampering after allegedly masturbating in a woman’s office and then touching the gum to his privates before RE-WRAPPING THE GUM AND LEAVING IT AS A GIFT ON HER DESK.
WRAL, the local station covering this story, is treating this story of a guy doubling his pleasure like it’s Watergate, with near round-the-clock coverage of the confectionery crime. This report has the best unintentionally hilarious line, when reporter Amanda Lamb says, “Because the college is a government facility, they can’t ban anyone, including Jones, from coming on campus.” He, he!
Jones, for his part, told Lamb he was “truly sorry,” but thought cops were going overboard. “Arrested? For what?” he wants to know. “What did I do to her personally?”

I am happy for our lovely marriage. Especially when I read about people like this:
Meet Brittany Phillips. Early Saturday morning, the 19-year-old Louisiana woman wanted some sex from her boyfriend. But Todd Stewart, 35, was apparently not in the mood. In fact, he tried to push Phillips off of him in the bedroom of the pair’s West Monroe home. That much the couple can agree upon, according to Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office reports. Phillips claims Stewart became violent after rebuffing her advances. Stewart told an investigator that he left the bedroom to sleep on a living room couch, but that Phillips “would not leave him alone.” At some point, he added, things got physical and he was stabbed in the lower lip with “a long metal object which appeared to be a knife.” For her part, the frisky Phillips acknowledged to Deputy Shane Smith that she struck Stewart, but said it was done “to protect herself.”
