Weird Virginia Update: Milk Gallon Pranksters Charged

An update from a previous "Weird Virginia" and some entertainment to get you through your Wednesday.

It’s Wednesday—for some, the longest day of the week (aside from Mondays), so we thought we’d give you a much-needed laugh break in case you missed out on Weird Virginia this weekend.

But first, an update…

Yesterday, Patch reported the Vienna teenagers who pulled a milk-spilling and slipping prank are being charged with destruction of property and disorderly conduct in connection to incidents at four local stores. Patch included this story in a “Weird Virginia” round up earlier this month.

Principal Sharon Smith Williams will do anything it takes to get her students to read more — including kiss a pig.

As part of a program called "Pig Out on Reading," Williams promised the students that if they read 5,000 books in just over a month, she would kiss a pig. Inspired by the popular children's book, "Our Principal Promised to Kiss a Pig," Williams enlisted the help of Farmer Minor, who travels with his pig Daisy and two pug dogs to schools around the country for similar events.
