That particular state doesn't have a can deposit, so they were just recycled for material value (i.e. scrap aluminum). -b0b (...just the facts, ma'am.)

Student nabbed in alleged food-fight plot

A student at Mountain Ridge High School was arrested Friday by Glendale police for allegedly plotting to stage a food fight in the school cafeteria.

The boy, a 17-year-old junior, was taken into custody at the Glendale school then placed in a juvenile detention center on a charge of disrupting an educational facility, police said.

Jeff Payne, the student's father, said the food fight never happened, so he can't understand why his son was arrested.

"Shame on him for planning a food fight," Payne said. "But there was no food fight and he's in jail right now."

School officials have taken further action by slapping the student with a suspension, said Sandi Hicks, a spokeswoman for the Deer Valley Unified School District.

The food fight, which had been planned on an Internet Web site, was supposed to occur Thursday, but school officials got wind of the plot, Hicks said.

Extra teachers and security were posted in the school cafeteria and nothing happened, Hicks said. Officials were back on guard Friday and again foiled a possible outbreak of tossed food, she said.

Officer Mike Peña, a Glendale police spokesman, said the student was confronted with Web postings in which investigators believe he planned the food fight.

School administrators were specifically singled out as food-fight targets, Peña said. The boy was taken into custody after he became very uncooperative, he said.

Don't you all feel so much safer now that this nefarious criminal has been removed from our society?

Spill the details, Stewie. Where did you meet him? What'd he talk about?

I went to a comic book convention in Novi, MI. It was awesome, thousands of geeks all in one place. It reminded me of Celebration II a bit. The following is basically our convo:

X: Hello, Mr. Spiner, a pleasure to meet you (shakes hands).
Spiner: Hey thanks for coming out. What's your name?
X: Patrick.
S: *weird voice* Patrick.
X: Ya know I love Data but my favorite character of yours was Dr. Okum (from Independence Day).
S: Oh really? Ha ha. I liked him too.
X: It's someone I could relate too. Ha Ha.
S: Ha. Ha. Yeah I still have faith that he could come back.
X: Yeah he was great. He kinda did in the second book.
S: Yeah but it was a prequil.
X: Right Right but still awesome.
S: Well I liked him and wouldn't mind playing him again. Here ya go *hands me a signed picture*
X: Do you think I could impose to get a picture.
S: *Cheerfully* Oh sure sure!
*Take picture...see above*
S: A pleasure to meet you Patrick.
X: No no Mr. Spiner the pleasure was all mine.
Fin.
