Inedible paint!! 
More than 200 children are being treated in hospital with lead poisoning in north-west China after school chefs used inedible paint to decorate their food.
Eight people have been arrested after tests showed the food samples from a kindergarten in Tianshui City in Gansu province had lead levels that were 2,000 times over the national safety limit.
In total, 233 children from Peixin Kindergarten had high levels of lead in their blood after eating steamed red date cake and sausage corn bun.
The school principal asked the kitchen staff to buy the paint online, according to a police statement.

After dinner one night recently, I told my 7-year-old son that I’m sick. He was in the middle of drawing a dinosaur. He looked up at me and announced confidently, “No, you’re not!”
I don’t look sick, which makes it confusing. I explained that I’ve been living with a disease called cancer for five years, and it happens when some cells in the body grow faster than normal. “I know all about cells!” he declared triumphantly. I told him no one caused it, he can’t catch it and that, regardless of what happens, I’ll love him forever.
He listened intently, then went back to drawing. He didn’t seem upset—a huge relief. But a few hours later, he asked incredulously, “So you’ve been sick since I was two?!”

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Workers at a site in South Carolina that once made key parts for nuclear bombs in the U.S. have found a radioactive wasp nest but officials said there is no danger to anyone.
Employees who routinely check radiation levels at the Savannah River Site near Aiken found a wasp nest on July 3 on a post near tanks where liquid nuclear waste is stored, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The nest had a radiation level 10 times what is allowed by federal regulations, officials said.
The workers sprayed the nest with insect killer, removed it and disposed of it as radioactive waste. No wasps were found, officials said.
The report said there is no leak from the waste tanks, and the nest was likely radioactive through what it called “onsite legacy radioactive contamination” from the residual radioactivity left from when the site was fully operational.
The watchdog group Savannah River Site Watch said the report was at best incomplete since it doesn’t detail where the contamination came from, how the wasps might have encountered it and the possibility there could be another radioactive nest if there is a leak somewhere.

"Then we found him: a lone camper, singing his heart out to the trees, blissfully unaware that the acoustics of the Boulderfields had turned his tent-side concert into an accidental distress signal,”
