Wizardry? WTF?

Finally proof that the world is completely rooted, in the Australian usage of the word.

This from Florida, via FoxNews.com (don't ask):

A Florida teacher may have to pull an unemployment check out of his hat after performing magic in front of students, according to reports.

Jim Piculas said he made a toothpick disappear and reappear in front of students at the Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes, Fla., Local6.com reported. He said he later got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he had been accused of wizardry.

"I get a call the middle of the day from head of supervisor of substitute teachers. He says, 'Jim, we have a huge issue. You can't take any more assignments. You need to come in right away,'" he told Local6.com.

Piculas said he’s concerned the incident may prevent him from being considered for future jobs.

Fortunately, there are magicians out there who are sympathetic.

Choppa's vegemite challenge

I don't normally post stuff this wrong, but I thought I'd make an exception in this case.

This guy is looking at certain heart failure for sure - for the benefit of my non-Australian readers, Vegemite is a concentrated yeast extract made by Kraft with more salt than the Mediterranean in each jar. It's normally spread on toast or sandwiches quite thinly.

You've been warned. I felt a little sick at the end of this.
