Kids will be kids, but two Ohio high school students almost got away with a doozy of a prank. The pair could be kicked out of the school for allegedly posting a fake snow-day notice on the schools website.

The fake announcement informed visitors to the site that the school would be closed for the day to due winter weather. The posting confused parents since snow wasn’t in the forecast, but some students managed to stay at home anyway.

A school official, logging onto the site to write his own announcement that school would be delayed for an hour that day because of an extreme cold snap discovered that the site had been accessed by pranksters. Two high school girls have been charged with delinquency and face expulsion. The school in question is near Cincinnati, Ohio.

Good Grief, what else are they going to ban?

Add two more Massachusetts primary schools to the list of US schools that have been banning the age-old game of tag for fear that children may get hurt and their parents will sue. Officials at McCarthy Elementary School told the local media that the children have been ordered to invent a new no-contact version of the game for safety reasons.

“If the hands come out to touch, then the supervisors ask them to stop,” McCarthy principal Joan Vodoklys was quoted as saying in the Boston Herald Friday. “What we require is that children do not touch each other.”

Do these kids still have gym class? If they do that will probably be banned next. Don’t children need to run around and play to burn off all that extra energy? I some how made it through primary school without hurting myself so badly that my parents thought to sue the school.

What do you think of schools banning games of tag?

I’m sure a few of us in the blogisphere have already figured this out but …

A study released earlier this week suggests that the United States could be rife with Internet addicts as clinically ill as alcoholics.

Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, California, said that their telephone survey indicated that more than one in eight US residents showed at least one sign of “problematic Internet use.”

Most disturbing was the discovery that some people hid their Internet surfing, or went online to cure foul moods in ways that mirrored the way that alcoholics use booze, according to the study’s lead author, Elias Aboujaoude.

According to preliminary research, the typical Internet addict is a single, college-educated, white male in his 30s, who spends approximately 30 hours a week on non-essential computer use.

• What kind on internet user are you? Are you only on the internet for an hour or so each day, or perhaps even less?
• Do you use the internet while your spouse is out, before you spouse comes home from work, or after he or she has gone to bed at night? And does your spouse know that you are on the internet when he or she is not home or sleeping?
• Do you think that you are on the internet too much and that it might be becoming a problem?

Maybe we should start a group - Internetaholics Anonymous?
