While nerves are still on edge after the recent school shooting
in Connecticut, some wags at local high schools are diligently circulating
a rumor that someone is going to shoot up one of the schools on Friday, to celebrate the end of the Mayan calendar cycle. Naturally the
rumor is spreading and upsetting people. I don't take the initial rumor seriously, but since you never can tell when
someone who hears the rumor might get revved up and take it into his head to actually
do it, it kind of puts the school on the hot seat deciding what precautions
they should take.
I hope that when they find the little turkey who started the
rumor, they expel him.
A woman I work with said that when she was growing
up, they used to get bomb threats every time somebody wanted to get a day off
school.
Someone should remind the kids that around here all they
have to do is break a mercury thermometer to get 3 days off. (For real.)
