"From The Ridiculous To The Sublime" ... 'Police called to school to investigate assault claim after boy 'hits pupil with MARSHMALLOW'

The world has gone stark raving & barking mad!!! I took one read of this article in the UK Daily Mail and burst out laughing ... this is ridiculous ... please someone tell me this is an APRIL FOOL (It is 1st April 2011 after all).... now read on ...Daily Mail says: "Police launched an assault investigation at a secondary school after a boy claimed he was attacked when he was hit by a marshmallow. Nathan Watch claimed he was questioned by police and taken home in a squad car after being accused of assaulting a fellow pupil with a single pink marshmallow. Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police sent a sergeant and police constable to Torpoint Community College, Cornwall to follow up the incident on Wednesday. Nathan's father, Nigel Watch, claimed police told him his son had been accused of 'common assault' and would be questioned as it had become a police matter. A number of pupils were removed from class for questioning over the 'attack', and Nathan, 13, was taken from a school computer lesson, it was claimed. The 'assault' happened when Nathan and a small group of friends were messing around on the approach to school with an unwanted bag of the sweets. One of the soft sweets was thrown and hit a fellow pupil, who rang his parents to complain."
