The authorities in Los Angeles have issued a warning to pupils after the discovery of three exploding pens. The latest booby-trapped device went off on Friday morning when a pupil picked up a marker pen lying on the floor in the boys' toilets. It went off in his hands.

Exploding Pens.
Her in Iraq, we have a word for them...
...they're called IED's.
How much do you want to bet, someone named Mohammed or Achmed is behind this?
Young mulsims-in-training??
I dunno... at my Junior High were some brilliant sci nerds who kept experimenting with their "projects" by blowing up the boy's room toilets. Their defense "No one uses these". lol.
Got something against science nerds?
We're here
We're nerds
Get used to us
You work for us
They were merely trying out their newer concoctions and they chose (they said) to try these out on the least useful items in the school: the toilets in the boy's lavatory.
Ergo, "exploding" pens in this day and age: "We are trying our concoctions out on the least useful items in the school."
lol. New Standards, a New Age in non-educational Educational institutions...
