From the morning paper

From this morning’s issue of the Guardian (U.K.), one of the better headlines that I’ve yet seen:

Schoolyard penis seen from space

Press Association

Wednesday January 31, 2007

Two pupils who drew a giant penis on a school lawn using weed killer two years ago can still admire their work from satellite photos now posted on the internet.

Despite the school re-seeding the area, the penis has turned up on satellite image search engines because a photo was taken before the new grass could conceal the appendage.

The unnamed pair of year 11 pupils from Bellemoor school for boys in Southampton, burned the 6-metre (20ft) phallus into the grass as an end of term joke.

Staff, parents and pupils who log on can now see the image in all its glory.

A spokeswoman for the school said: "It was just one of those high school jinks.

"This was an act of vandalism that took place during the summer of 2005. Southampton city council re-seeded the area and the grass was re-grown by the beginning of the new school term."

The original article (follow the link) has a full color copy of the photo. It’s not nearly as good as the headline.

DAMNED KIDS!

Always "DICKING AROUND"!

This has happened near here before, too.

They tried to use green paint to hide it, and made it worse!
