BBC News: A school has banned triangular flapjacks after an incident where a student threw one across dining hall and injured another pupil.

After testing the composition of flapjack school said it will now only serve square flapjacks as they are less dangerous.

Whhhhaaaaatttt!!!!

Not just hidden somewhere on BBC website but it actually made the national 1 o'clock news.

They should ban these silly rules, someone could die laughing at them.

I'd argue square flapjacks are more dangerous as they have an additional edge.

Round would be the best for the risk averse confectionery consumer.

I remember making a ninja star in DT at school, threw it in to the ceiling, my friend looked up at it, looked down to me and said "That's cool." The star fell out of the ceiling and impaled my friends head, there was bloody everywhere, the lulz I had.

I say impose Sharia law in school and chop all their hands off.

Try throwing a flapjack with your foot now, smart ass.

Good job it wasn't cornflake tart, might have had shrapnel too :eek:

Banning flapjacks isn't the answer. The only appropriate response is the arm all teachers with flapjacks.

We made them out of AOL CD's

I'm worried - i sent my son to school today with triangle cheese sandwiches - I wonder what damage he might do with them in the playground!!! Should I call the school?

I was considered too dangerous at school by teachers so I was not allowed to do woodwork or metalwork at school.

Instead they made me do Home Economics (cooking) in a room with dozens of sharp knives?

Of course, back when I were a Lad. Anybody engaging in a food fight at mealtimes would have received a rather different injury and at the other end!

Pretty sure they'd be capable of throwing a square flapjack just as well as a triangular one. A square one could be more dangerous too!

i can only ever recall them being oblongular in shape.
