Reincarnated Kids Needed for New Reality Show

The folks behind VH1 Scream Queens and Beauty and the Geek are developing a new reality show about reincarnated children for the Bio Channel.

Producers and married couple Joke Fincioen and Biago Messina are looking to cast families with kids who have inexplicable memories and experiences of another life they know nothing about. Joke says, “We were pregnant at the time when the idea first came to us. We thought what would we do if this happened with our daughter?”

The pilot episode aired a few months back, following the stories of three different children including the case of James Leininger. At age two, James started having nightmares of his death, leading the family to believe he’s the reincarnation of James Huston, a fighter pilot who died in World War II at Iwo Jima. Biago claims they’re cautious in their casting, adding, “We need to make sure the parents are of sound mind and can handle TV.” (Huffington Post)

What's The Point?

Administrators at a British school issued a pointless proclamation the other day in order to make sure their kitchen workers stopped making points – on pancakes, that is.

The law was laid down at Castle View School on Canvey Island just outside London – by an official who raised concerns after a seven-year-old got hit in the eye with a cake during a food fight. A spokesman for the district confirmed the ban, but declined to elaborate as to how it will be enforced – or how kids will be stopped from cutting food into "dangerous" shapes.

One parent with a sense of humor noted, "This is bad news for broccoli spears." (Daily Mail)

No Escape Claws

A Minnesota man will try to claw himself out of trouble after he was caught red-handed stealing a lobster from his local Red Lobster restaurant.

An employee noticed that one of the larger crustaceans was missing from the restaurant's tank and called a cop, who spotted Edward Farris walking nearby with a lobster in a plastic bag. The officer ticketed Farris for trespassing and misdemeanor theft and returned the live lobster to the restaurant.

Apparently this isn't his first lobster nabbing. Farris had stolen another one of the critters just last year netting him a misdemeanor conviction.

Farris is a frequent visitor to Minnesota's criminal buffet, with a grand total of 37 arrests under his belt. (Duluth News-Tribune)
