Get your hands up and step away from the burrito!

Well it's good to see that police officers in Clovis, New Mexico are on top of their game. When a middle-school boy walked into school with a "long and wrapped" suspicious item, theClovis authorites, fearing the object might be a weapon, placed armed officers on the roofs and locked down the school.

As it turns out, the item in question was a 30-inch burrito. The boy had prepared it as part of an extra-credit assignment. Once the authorities realized, to the great relief of all, what it was, the police were able to stand down and the school was declared safe again.

Unfortunately, later in the day 30 students were temporarily overcome by massive quantities of gas, from which the burrito was later determined to be the source.
