Least Wanted's Most Wanted

Someone decided it would be best to arrest these two together. Maybe they were just having too much fun.

For a seemingly endless collection of weird, sad and scary mugshots, take a look at Least Wanted's Flickr photoset. Or click any of the photos above and below.

CIA for Kids

Here it is. One of those morbidly fascinating websites that delights even as it appalls. Like that giant wart looking thing on your neighbor's nose. Shinning, gleaming, a big hideous sun of a wart, a super-nova of a wart – your eyes glued to it.

It's the CIA's Homepage for Kid's (ages K-5th) and oh, it is too wonderful for words (in an I-think-I-want-to-throw-up-now sort of way). It's full of wonderful kid-like things like Ginger's CIA Adventure and Meet the K-9 Corps! But my favorite area on the site is Just Say No to Drugs, where your kindergartener can learn loads of fascinating drug factoids like:

Newer smuggling methods are seemingly limited only by a trafficker’s imagination. Couriers swallow bags of heroin, cross the border, and wait for the bags to run their digestive course. Bags of heroin are also put in the gas tanks and tires of cars and driven across borders, or mixed in with garbage that ends up in refuse containers. Sometimes the heroin is placed inside figurines or in furniture. In an extreme example, recently a border patrol unit in Texas found about $5 million worth of narcotics stuffed in human body parts—legs, arms, and intestines—that had been stolen from a hospital. The traffickers said this was to hide the drugs’ smell from drug-sniffing dogs, but it was unsuccessful.

And...

Depressants (sedatives) include chloral hydrate, barbiturates (Amytal, Nembutal, Seconal, phenobarbital), benzodiazepines (Librium, Valium), methaqualone (Quaalude), glutethimide (Doriden), and others (Equanil, Placidyl, Valmid).

 

After your child has read endless page after page of this stuff, he or she can take the CIA Kid's Drug Quiz. Don't worry – it's all multiple choice, so little Johnny or Susie has a much better chance of doing well on vital drug questions like the following:
