The teacher changed her mind and let the kids print their spelling words. All that stress for nothing. :rolleyes:
 
An elementary teacher took down all the ceiling tiles in their class room so the students could paint a mural on them..

Bad idea for two reasons..

(1) Painting the Ceiling tile changes their fire code rating

(2) The ceiling tiles and dust on them are loaded with ASBESTOS..

ASBESTOS?? :eek: That stuff is bad, bad news. My dad worked with that when he was young and years later, ended up with cancer.

What's the school doing about it?
 
One of the schools I worked in had asbestos boards in at ceiling height. My boss pointed it out to the surveryors who'd completely missed it. It was slapped with hazard stickers and nowt else done about it.

That school has now been relocated to a brand new building thank goodness.

there should be no loose asbestos dust or materials (containing asbestos) that could be distrubed, and ceiling tiles do not fit that description.

there needs to be abatement.

It's an old school.. And although yes the Ceiling tiles themselves contain Asbestos I'd say the real risk is in the asbestos laden dust that sits on them that has fallen from the insulation above it.

And the school is now closed so they can clean it up and clear the air. They will only do the room that needs it.

They are doing the abatement as they do new construction.
 
This news story about a man who had sex with a hedgehog. By the way, in the U.S. hedgehogs are known by the common name of porcupine. :rolleyes:

However, there were mitigating circumstances. He was simply following his doctor's orders in treatment of his problem with premature ejaculation.

this is a hedgehog and this is a porcupine. They are not the same creature...

Either way OUCH!
Paedre, American usage appears to be somewhat different. Two dictionaries that I checked have porcupine as a secondary meaning for hedgehog.

Regardless, the old joke about porcupines having sex still applies: it's done very carefully.

Amazing. They're not the same species...

That's true, and one of the dictionaries even included the Latin species name for hedgehog. My guess is that it's just a matter of casual usage. What can you expect of a nation whose electorate selected the only presidential candidate whose knowledge of geography was less accurate than their own? Serbia? Isn't that just north of Detroit?

If I went round referring to hedgehogs as a porcupines I'd be considered ever so slightly nuts.
