It's Bad Behavior Friday™! -- Mission Accomplished edition

A 10-year-old boy in suburban Houston hung himself attempting to imitate the execution of Saddam Hussein, police said.

The story includes a mention that another kid in Pakistan hung himself for a similar reason. Texas... Pakistan. I guess they're more alike than we've always known. Each raises completely stupid children. Update: Also in India.

In the Bronx, a man opened a donut shop next door to a fried chicken place; when the donut shop began also selling chicken, the chicken shop owner burned the other place down. Coutesy Sepia Mutiny, who points out that both proprietors are Indian immigrants ("desis").

In Pennsylvania, authorities charged a 12-year-old special ed student with disorderly conduct for wetting her pants. Strangest part of the story is that after students and teachers ate "a holiday lunch" at the Danville (Penna.) Middle School, "the girl was told to go to the kitchen to wash some pots and pans," and the pants-wetting followed. What, the retarded kid is some kind of scullery slave? I guess she was pissed off.

The late Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist was addicted to Placidyl, a prescription sleep medication to the point where he was delusional.
