A student who drank a chemical from his high school lab on a dare was recovering in a hospital, but not before a scare.
The student drank the unidentified chemical on a two-dollar bet at the school, said Nancy Smith, a UMC supervisor.
"We need to find out what it was from the toxicologist," Assistant Principal Ray Lascano said. "All of those materials belonged to one of the chemistry labs."
The student was found last Wednesday in a school hallway, bleeding from the nose and mouth.
The unidentified student, a junior at Odessa High School, was upgraded Monday from critical to satisfactory condition at University Medical Center in Lubbock.
Lascano, who talked with the youth's mother Monday afternoon, said swelling in his throat had receded enough for him to talk. The student was moved from the Lubbock hospital's intensive-care unit to the pediatric unit, he said.
Lascano said Ector County Independent School District officials were still investigating.
Honorary future Darwin winner.
"Owwww, my stomach feels like burning"--Sarges son on Simpsons after a similar incident.
How does a kid get this far being so stupid?
On the future Rat line of thought ... it would depend on the color of the liquid and if the challenger said it was Kool Aid ... otherwise I'd tend to think more on the PETA/Greenie line .. but hey, why quibble.
Beat me to it
It's telling that there is no mention of possible brain damage.
I hate to say too bad he didn't actually make the Darwin list.
It's usually reserved for those whose leaving the gene pool is distinguished by the manner of their exit.
But this is at least an honorable mention.
We live in a remarkably safe environment.
Up to just a few generations ago, predators would have weeded him out well before he could reproduce...
I'm still going to vote for the Arkanas Live Venomous Snakes Box Kicker!
Definitely missing something upstairs
Forest Gump was correct.
This kid has to be related to the fella in Arkansas who kicked the box marked "Venomous snake."
I don't know? He sounds like a typical liberal kool-aid drinker to me. He's just starting early.
If stupidity was actually painful, this one would be on a permanent lidocane drip.
But he has nice self-esteem...
More balls than IQ points.
