Smells like teen spirit

In a controlled environment, it might have been the stuff of science fairs in remedial schools for the children of coprophagous parents. But while some might be looking for a video game to pin the blame on, three Salt Lake, Utah, teens have forever tagged themselves as “those guys who put the shit in the microwave.”

While there are no doubt a plethora of Sunday afternoon activities for the kids to distract themselves with, these three chose, for no particular reason, to fill a gallon-sized bag with human excrement, maybe their own, maybe someone else’s, and place that bag in the microwave of a local convenience store. They then set the microwave’s timer to 10 minutes and left. After a few minutes, the microwave exploded, sending last night’s dinner splashing across the shop, fouling Wonderbread and the Sunday Times alike and leaving the stench of nuked colon wafting through the air. The three, along with their actions, were captured on store security cameras. Once those images hit the local press, it didn’t take long before police had their identities.

All three confessed to their crimes and were charged with third-degree felonies.
