We have heard rumors of people who smoke marijuana. We’ve heard tales of engineer types in college who built two-story bongs, gravity and ice bongs, and even inflatable smoking devices. But this story takes the cake…
Two men and a juvenile are charged with traipsing about a graveyard, digging up a body, decapitating it and then using the [...]
