    It is time to review the world's weird news stories of the week. 1) THE NAUGHTY SEAL AWARD: A seal was caught on tape trying to have sex with a penguin. Actually, from the description it sounds like this seal was trying to rape this poor defenseless creature and we should contact the ACLU!!!! 2) THE DROP THAT CANDY AWARD: An Iowa man was arrested for assaulting an officer when he threw M & M's as the officer. Apparently an piece of the candy hit the officer on the shoulder and he will never be the same again. 3) THE GO AS SLOW AS YOU CAN AWARD: An Illinois man has doubled his gas milage by "hypermiling". Try that on hwy 278!!!! 4) THE BUT DAD I NEEDED ONE AWARD: A Texas teen is in a bit of hot water after he stole his father's credit card. Did he go and buy the hottest game for his Wii? NO...He bought 2 Hookers! Just what every teenager needs! 5) THE DUMB ASS PARENT AWARD: A family in a rush to get to the airport gate "forgot" their 23 month old!!! The thing that gets me is that they didn't even realize it until they were contacted during a layover!!!

    A very interesting(and dumb) way to assault a police officer. DES MOINES (AP) -- A college student whose friend was being questioned in a hit and run found himself charged with assaulting an officer with a curious choice of weapons: M&Ms. Sean McGuire was arrested early Sunday at a convenience store after Drake University security guards noticed the colored candies falling on the ground around the officer. When the officer turned around, an M&M hit his shoulder, according to a police report. McGuire claimed he threw the candy because he was "sticking up for his friend," who apparently was the man suspected in the accident, the report states.Doug at Below the Beltway wrote- "Yea, the guy was a dumbass. I just don't get why he was wasting perfectly good chocolate." I wonder what Mr. McGuire is majoring in at college. Being fair, we'll take nominations from readers. Keep it rated PG13.

McGuire, of Glenview, Ill., was released from jail Sunday after posting $1,000 bond. A telephone call to his cellphone Monday wasn't immediately returned.
