Seems the boys had a little weed and needed something to smoke it with, so they dug up an 80-year-old corpse, decapitated it, and fashioned the skull into a bong. Is this the sort of thing encouraged by home-schooling? Outrageous!



Yes, I'm indulging in the ad hoc fallacy -- everybody should do it now & again; it puts some of the 'fun' in fundie and adds grist for the skeptical mill.

Anyhoo, I've got some doubts on this one, home-schooling not withstanding. That's a lot of work just for a unique bong, although bored teen-agers do some weird things. And the head of the corpse has yet to be located, so there is no physical evidence beyond the disturbed grave. Also these turkeys were nabbed for a vehicle break-in and then volunteered the yarn to the cops, possibly as a distraction.
The Kingwood teenager's story of decapitating a corpse and using the head to smoke marijuana was so outlandish that at first Houston Police Department senior police officer Jim Adkins did not believe it.

Yet, Kevin Wade Jones Jr., 17, appeared almost indifferent as he relayed the bizarre description of his and two friends' activities at an Humble area graveyard, Adkins said.

"I just doubted it because it's very morbid, and I couldn't see anybody doing something like this," Adkins said Thursday.

Not until police went to the home of another Kingwood 17-year-old, Matthew Richard Gonzalez, did the officer believe the tale.

"He regurgitated in his plate of food when I asked him about it," Adkins said. "So I knew there was some truth to the story."
What remarkable powers of deduction! Way to go, Sherlock!

I hope there'll be a follow-up on this. It has all the potential for a great comedy routine.
