SENIOR PRANK: 72,000 LADYBUGS RELEASED INSIDE SCHOOL

Police in Morganza, Maryland, have charged seven suspects in a senior prank that released 72,000 ladybugs in a public high school. Six Chopticon High School senior students and one alumnus allegedly broke into the school at around 3:30 a.m. last Wednesday and released the lady bugs inside. Now they are facing criminal charges. Four minors were charged with fourth-degree burglary, property destruction and disruption of school activities. The other three will be charged as adults. One suspect ordered the ladybugs online.
* … 71,998 … 71,999 … yep – exactly 72,000 ladybugs.
* On the bright side – no more aphids!
* Could have been worse. Could have been spiders.
* Aren’t ladybugs supposed to be good luck? So how did these students get arrested?
* I just looked it up. Ladybugs are considered good luck because they kill harmful pests that eat crops. Plus there’s other reasons but who has the time?
* We’ve got a radio show to do. This isn’t “Insect World.”
* Still the all-time high school prank? The guy who put his high school up for sale.
* Actually, my high school had the ultimate prank: they let me graduate.
