    School in Essex bans triangle shaped flapjacks after pupil is hurt

    School in Essex bans triangle shaped flapjacks after pupil is hurt - Home News - UK - The Independent

    I don't think they've thought this through, triangular flapjacks have fewer corners and acute angles are more likely to crumble on impact than the 90 degree angles on the previous oat based cakes.

    This is madness.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    A spokesperson for Castle View School, Canvey Island, said: “I can confirm that the texture and shape of the flapjacks were reviewed following an isolated accident last week.”
    With some expert nibbling even a square flapjack can become a lethal weapon!

    Surely it's not beyond the wit of the "powers that be" to invent some kind of flapjack that crumbles prior to an acute angle being reached?

    We can no longer live with the risk of sharp edged playground snacks in schools!

        The future is round flapjacks with bevelled edges, you heard it here first.

          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Heard this on BFBS this morning and nearly crashed at the idiocy of teachers. Apparently they can only have square or rectangle flpajacks now, which means that if teachers have been doing their jobs properly then the pupils will know to cut them in half diagonally so then they'll have 2 to throw. Fecking idiots...

                would the pupils be too stupid to forego the flapjacks and just use the scissors or knives directly, rather than use them to cut triangular flapjacks?

                  I thought this was a Daily Mash story when I first heard it. What the f*** kind of flapjacks are they selling there anyway? I've never seen a sharp flapjack, no matter what shape it was cut into
