Authorities say seven San Francisco middle school students were taken to hospitals after apparently mistaking rat poison for candy. Y'know, that delicious candy that comes in the box with a skull and rat on it!
Actually, students from the Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Middle School (way to honor that legacy) were taken to the emergency room yesterday after ingesting a blue cube they found atop a filing cabinet. Because there's usually unwrapped candy on a piece of furniture. At school. Just laying around. Crews were called to the school after one of the students told a parent about the incident, and a teacher later called poison control.
The children showed no symptoms (other than stupidity), and were taken to hospitals as a precaution, as broken glass, rusty nails and AIDS filled condoms were also strewn about and potentially ingested. School officials say the incident is under investigation, though the real location ought to be those kids homes to determine if the parent are fit enough to raise children and not teach them not to eat blue cubes they find atop a filing cabinet.
