British School Bans Triangle Shaped Pastries As Weapons

A school's decision to ban triangular flapjacks after a pupil was hurt has been labelled "half-baked" by the Health and Safety Executive. It follows an incident at Castle View School in Canvey Island, Essex, when a boy was hit in the face by a flapjack. Catering staff at the school have been told only to serve square or rectangular flapjacks. The school said the "isolated accident" had led to a review of "the texture and shape of the flapjacks" provided.

Come now, don’t be obtuse.

[Uncle Chip]

Yep — if a pancake injures you, then it’s not its shape but its ingredients.

. This may be the most amazingly stupid, over-protective decision made by a school administrator anywhere.

It's still early.

Cue the bunny with a pancake on its head photo.....

Who has it????

[PA Engineer]

As a fan of Hamantashen, I find this deeply anti-semitic.

That was the first thing I thought of and believe that was the intent.

Truthfully, I posted before I scrolled down to your very appropriate entry. It’s strange living here in Absurdity-land, isn’t it? Where’s Terry Gilliam when he’s desperately needed?

Anyone still doubting that liberalism is a mental illness?

[NEMDF]

I don’t know. I guess I need to pay more attention when it shows up!! But if ever there was a need for it... this thread is it!

I’m surprised the don’t ban croissants to avoid aggravating the muzzies.

[Clock King]

But if a square is just two triangles put together, won't that cause double the damage?? I'm so con-fuuussed!

I first read this as "Pasties" and thought, hmm, ok, if they get to swinging I can see that.

Meanwhile, the muslim population is exploding exponentially there and British citizens are being attacked by them.

But, keep your eye on the poptart. Thaaaaat is where the action will be.

[PowderMonkey]

In the right hands...Wait 'till they find out what can be done with chicken nuggets.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It is more like a coffee cake sort of thing.

IIRC they call our flapjacks griddle cakes.

[Tax-chick]

Oh. But still ... when I buy coffee cakes, they are round or rectangular. Were these round and cut into triangular sections?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Rectangular and cut into squares and then the squares were cut diagonally to make triangles.

[Tax-chick]

If the students had to measure them and compute the area, it would have been a useful exercise! Or how about the nutrition information per-actual-serving?
