It's "creepy"

Site Meter

Well, it’s finally happened. The hellmouth has opened up right here in OC.

● A couple of joggers happened upon a human skeleton yesterday in Dana Point near a High School (Corpse found). Apparently, it’s been there for at least a year. Somebody speculated that someone just fell in a pond there and died. Yeah, but wouldn’t somebody notice they were missing? (See also Remains found.)

● Some of my students were telling me that University High was planning to use student fingerprints to speed up lunch lines. Well, sure enough, the story was true (see Plans dropped). Irvine Unified has nixed the plan for now, but it turns out that “A quarter of the school districts in West Virginia use fingerprint scans to identify students.” It’s “creepy,” said one student. (See also Plans called off.)

● Meanwhile, “Huntington Beach police have stopped hiding guns in cars of people they pull over — a way to test how rookie officers search a suspect's vehicle — because ‘it's probably not the way we should be operating’….” (Police drop tactic). A police spokesman said, “How long it's been going on, we don't know….”
