Drudge had this blurb about a school lockdown over a…(snicker)…over…(chuckle)…well, here, you read it:

A 911 call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school.

All over a giant burrito.

Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped up into Marshall Junior High School.

The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos. It was wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.

“I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry,” school Principal Diana Russell said.

Russell said the mystery was solved after she brought everyone in the school together in the auditorium to explain what was going on. Afterward, eighth-grader Michael Morrissey approached her.

“He said, ‘I think I’m the person they saw,”‘ Russell said.

The burrito was part of Morrissey’s extra-credit assignment to create commercial advertising for a product. “We had to make up a product and it could have been anything. I made up a restaurant that specialized in oddly large burritos,” Morrissey said.

Well, the story did mention a “possible weapon”, didn’t it?

You&#160 eat a 30″ burrito and see if you&#160 don’t turn into…well…you know…

Somewhere in Farmers Branch, Texas RightAboutNow&#153, a man sits in a cubicle lavishly decorated in black balloons, black streamers and black confetti – for that man “celebrates” (cough) the start of his next&#160 fifty years on this mortal coil.

I know this for an absolute, incontrovertible fact – for said man is my dear, beloved brother, who was born this day, fifty years ago.

Happy Birthday, Mike Crager.
