Home Ecccch!

I had to take a “home ec” class in junior high. Nothing like this would have ever happened back then…

A pair of Nebraska high school students were involved in a gross prank that left a bad taste in the mouth of their home economics teacher. The prank involved them putting bodily fluids into a recipe they prepared for class.

The class’ assignment was to make turnovers and frost them. At some point, the boys excused themselves and went to a bathroom, where they masturbated into containers and then mixed their bodily fluids with frosting. The boys ages 14 and 15 (their names were not released because of their age) then spread the frosting onto a plate of turnovers that the teacher sampled. She immediately noticed a problem and alerted administrators. Another student told the teacher that he had overhead the boys planning their trick.

Cops combed through local statutes looking for the most serious charge they could levy, but could only manage to come up with a misdemeanor of disturbing the peace. Assault didn’t work because the incident didn’t cause any bodily injury to the victim.

How things have changed in school now days. I can’t imagine ever doing anything like this. Imagine the conversation…”hey, let’s go into the bathroom and fill this container”. No thanks! I was shy enough about even using the urinal in front of others!

If you’d like additional details, here is the article from the Omaha World-Herald.

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
