Sand Castles Of Doooom.
Also,
Using a 30-meter cannon to launch a pumpkin almost 2KM? All in a day's work!
Also,
Couple "accept Jesus Christ into their hearts", begin listening to voices in their heads, trash a Catholic church. All in the same day.
Speaking of the insane,
A high school band will no longer play "The Devil Went Down To Georgia", after a person who doesn't go to the school, and whose children are homeschooled to keep them safe from all that satanic "thinking", objects.
Also,
Real high-school pain: Your classmates find a porn star who looks just like you.

Oct. 17th, 2005 07:50 pmWEST NEW YORK, N.J., Oct. 11 - About a year ago, a girl was born in this working-class town and was promptly flung out of a third-floor window. She tumbled down a thin air shaft, naked, her umbilical cord still attached. Her head smashed into the concrete 31 feet below. She died instantly. And there she lay, unnamed, buried in a grave of garbage and cigarette packs.
The story gets worse.
On the morning of Sept. 13, another baby was born and he, too, was shoved through the same window, splattering blood through neighbors' window panes as he fell, landing with a thud near the decaying body of his sister. His screams cut through the walls, and neighbors called the police. His skull cracked, and his eye was blackened, but he lived.
The story gets worse.
The authorities soon learned that the mother of the two children was Lucila Ventura, an 18-year-old immigrant from El Salvador. Their father was a 44-year-old named Jose Julio Ventura. But he is not just the father of Lucila's children, the police say. He is also their grandfather.
Initially, as the police responded to reports of a crying infant, they found only David, with no clue to how he got to the bottom of the 3.5-by-5-foot shaft. But as they looked up, they saw blood on the windowsill of the Venturas' bathroom window. Once inside the apartment, the police said, investigators found blood everywhere.
A day later, as maintenance workers cleared the garbage that had broken the newborn's fall, they found what they thought was a doll. It turned out to be the mummified remains of his sister.
