Smarties ...

That's hardly fair, sir. They're born without hands, you know.

Call it evolution in action.

Those are not Smarties These are Smarties: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smarties .

They are both smarties...

However, the thought of snorting M&Ms boggles the mind.

If they can be crushed into a powder, a human's curiosity has possibly demanded that it be snorted. Perhaps it doesn't even need to be crushed at all; human offspring shove crayons in their nose.

That's okay. The OP link goes to the Daily Mail, so it's not like it's really a news source either.

That's quite true. That said, in my search for confirmed cases of nose maggots (erm, using the correct medical term that I don't recall right now) I happened upon many, many articles saying the same thing from a variety of sources ... though they all may have been as ... reliable as the Mail for all I know.

When my wife taught, there was a kid in a class who absolutely stunk. Like something was rotting.

It turned out, he had a hobby of tearing off the foam from the couch cushion at home and stuffing it up his nose.

When he finally got taken in to a doctor, they fished out years worth of the rotted stuff that was crammed up there.

He wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box.

That's why crayon boxes come with built-in sharpeners!

only the big set comes with that. The smaller sets never did.

Now you've made me relive childhood disappointment.
