Weird News: Parents Let 16 Year Old Drop Out of High School to Play Guitar Hero


The winners of the "Worst Parents Ever" award would definitely have to go to 16 year old Blake Peebles' mom and dad who gave him the go ahead to drop out of high school and play Guitar Hero full time. As mom, Hunter Peebles, said: "We couldn't take the complaining anymore...He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time."


Well sure, that's totally understandable. That's why so many parents have let their kids drop out to focus all their time on Bong Studies. 

Here's an American Public Media interview with the Peebles (god help them).

And check out the hilarious comic about Peebles on HijiNKS ENSUE

Weird News: String Cheese Bomb!



Jul 22, 2:54 PM (ET)

CENTERVILLE, Utah (AP) - A piece of string cheese made to look like a bomb forced the temporary closure of a Centerville grocery store. Police were called to Dick's Market over the weekend for a report that a someone had left a device covered in duct tape near a dry ice cooler.
The store remained closed for two hours while bomb-sniffing dogs and a bomb technician investigated.
They eventually found the device was a piece of cheese.
Centerville police Lt. Paul Child said juveniles are suspected of planting the item in the store.
He says the closure caused thousands of dollars in losses to the store, including from milk, ice cream and other items that spoiled during the closure and had to be thrown out.
