"One for the birds
December 19 2002
A teenager claimed the 512 cannabis seeds found by police in his possession were birdseed to make his racing pigeons fly faster.
Judge Christopher Somerville rejected 19-year-old Craig Russell Brand's excuse when he appeared in court in Wellington, New Zealand, on a drug possession charge.
"Anyone who tells me cannabis seeds enhance the performance of racing pigeons must believe judges were born yesterday," the New Zealand Press Association reported the judge as saying.
Brand was remanded on bail for sentence."
So were they born yesterday, or is there something weird in the water in Wellington?
