Fla. Teacher Accused Of Wizardry
Man Made Toothpick Vanish In Class


LAND 'O LAKES, Fla. -- A substitute teacher in Pasco County has lost his job after being accused of wizardry.

Teacher Jim Piculas does a magic trick where a toothpick disappears and then reappears.

Piculas recently did the 30-second trick in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes.

Piculas said he then got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he'd been accused of wizardry.







Smallest wand I ever saw.

Man, if you're gonna get bagged for wizardry you'd think you'd want to pull a bit better stunt than the ol' "Disappearing Toothpick" trick. 

Apparently he had a previous arrest for "getting a student's nose" as well  ;)

Yup

What are these schools doing hiring Wizards with rap sheets? He must be a low-level Wizard anyway, cuz wouldnt he have throw that exploding ball of powder and disappeared before anyone could blink?  On a side note, i did not want to put that frown face in there, i do not condone frowning or any of its constiuants; pouting, sulking, or moping.

Thank You,

I believe this known as the "3 question mark" syndrome.  3 consecutive question marks is the "smiley" code for the frowning questioning face.

I've also noticed on the occasional lists with #'s followed by a ) you get 8) when an 8 is followed by a parenthesis.

Like such

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)

...and on that happy note I'm off to bed

Yup

The absurdities of life know no ends ... and injustice thrives despite the maturity of the human race. The truly sad thing is that it's no longer a rarity, but as common as ... toothpicks?
