Woman threatened to blow up school saying son ‘not adequately fed’
A woman living in Florida in the United States of America is embroiled in a controversy after being accused of threatening to blow up her son’s school.
The police, who identified the woman as Anaya Metoya Smith, said that she left the threat due to her believing that her son was not being adequately fed at the school’s cafeteria.
She has been charged with false report of bombing or arson against state-owned property, a felony, and disruption of an education institution, a misdemeanour according to news reports.
Metoya Smith allegedly sent a voicemail saying “if you don’t start feeding my … children better … I’m gonna come round … and blow that mother… up.”
A member of the school’s staff upon hearing the voicemail called the police and an evacuation and search was done of the entire school premises. This, however, did not yield any evidence of an explosive device.
While Metoya Smith did not leave her name on the voicemail, school authorities were able to cross reference the number it was called from using school records which listed it as the 41- year-old woman’s number.
The court documents have also confirmed that the woman’s son had got into a verbal altercation with a cafeteria worker in February with “regard to wanting extra food”. –ndtv.com

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

Ohio man’s dog license number earns him $50,000 lottery prize
An Ohio man used the numbers from his beloved dog’s license tag to play a Pick 5 lottery, drawing and scored a $50,000 prize.
Roger Sours of Tiffin told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a ticket for Wednesday’s Pick 5 drawing at the Pit Stop on N Washington Street in Tiffin and selected a special set of numbers: 1-0-8-2-2.
“I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German Shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore,” he said.
Sours said he was shocked when he watched the lottery results on TV.
“I just sat here. I watched the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he recalled.
Sours said his winnings will go toward taking care of some bills and giving a boost to his savings account.
