Stoned Wallabies Are Making Crop Circles
The mystery of crop circles in poppy fields in Australia's southern island state of Tasmania has been solved -- stoned wallabies are eating the poppy heads and hopping around in circles. Of course, it's not like they are smoking it - but they certainly are hard at work.
"We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," the state's top lawmaker Lara Giddings told local media on Thursday.
"Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high," she said.
For a long time people have believed that crop circles were created by aliens from other planets but it has actually been tweaked out wallabies.
Poppy producer Tasmanian Alkaloids said livestock which ate the poppies were known to "act weird" -- including deer and sheep in the state's highlands.
"There have been many stories about sheep that have eaten some of the poppies after harvesting and they all walk around in circles," said field operations manager Rick Rockliff.

Let this be a warning to all future deputies who might be interested in having a bit too much to drink at a Kenny Chesney concert. At least stick to the rules of the No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem Tour with Kenny Chesney.

A frustrated principal at PS 17 in Williamsburg is in some trouble after a screening of Camp Rock, the Disney film featuring the Jonas Brothers, went horribly wrong. On May 29th, an auditorium full of Brooklyn school kids, some as young as 5 years old, got a special screening of Camp Cock instead. After 45 seconds of the special film, teachers screamed "Don't look at it!" and frantically tried to turn it off. If that wasn't good enough, the parents of some of the school kids were saddened and shocked to hear what had happened.
One parent said, "My daughter is 6 years old; she doesn't need to see that, I don't even like to kiss in front of her because I think she's too young."
Rona Easton, mother of young Cass said, "My son told his friend he saw a naked lady at school."
Rona, continuing her horrible parenting revealed, "I thought he was just being silly. It's appalling."
I'm not a parent yet and I don't want to judge, but I think I might be inclined to believe my child when he talks about naked ladies, it's a good start.

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana." - Jimmy Carter, U.S. President

"That is not a drug. It's a leaf." - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California
