    In my science class, we made bottle rockets and as extra credit, we had to place an egg inside of the nose and land it without breaking it.

    In another decade, those'll probably be looked upon as projectile missiles. :jayzus:

    And lawsuit-happy parents who believe absolute safety is a realistic goal. Include them, or no fucking sale.

    Heh. I went to Tomball High School in the NW side of Harris County. Deer rifles in the gun rack were the norm.

    Oh, definitely include them. Charge them with whatever is on the books that applies to wasting the court's time and the taxpayers' money on frivolous lawsuits.

    Shakes your head would explode if you went back in time to my High School in the late 70's, small town Wisconsin. The school didn't care if you kept weed in your car, let alone cigarettes. But this made sense....you couldn't have weed in the school, so if you wanted to smoke after school, where would you keep it? You couldn't drive all the way home first - my school district covered about 100 square miles. Same with guns - if you went hunting on the way home, you had to keep your weapons somewhere.

    But think of the children! Considering our HS graduation rate was 95 percent compared to 50 percent in my neck of the woods in 2011, I think the kids did just fine. :santa_grin:

    Man, those teachers sure aren't scared of kids with deadly objects.

    Too bad they weren't as brave at Columbine. All you have to do is suspend shooters? Whoddathunk it?

    I really hope he didn't make it into the shape of a gun like that. Some underperforming child might have seen it and been significantly traumatized by the apparent reference to his or her substandard scholastic performance.
