Urban Legend makes the papers!

Hey gang,
Was just cruising across the 'net on my hometown paper when I came across this one. I guess it actually has happened. Apparently, a mother has actually put her baby in the microwave, and is pleading no contest to involutary manslaughter . . .

Sick people out there. We need to seriously step up the war on stupidity . . .

I ain’t the sick one. I just ‘act’ crazy.
