This was just too funny... though I'm sure there are moral and ethical considerations I found myself laughing out loud at the picture of a Viagra experiment gone wrong...
LONDON, England (Reuters) - Six British schoolboys were rushed to hospital after taking erection-enhancing Viagra tablets at lunchtime for a dare.
Paramedics were called after a fellow student told teachers about the 13-year-olds' prank, a spokesperson for Forest School in Winnersh, in southern England, said.
The local education authority said they think the student took the pills from home and brought them to the all-boys school where he shared them with five friends.
The school has a no drugs policy and the students likely will face punishment, especially the student who brought the Viagra tablets into school, the education authority said.
The Sun newspaper quoted a source at the school as saying: "By the time the afternoon lessons began, there was no hiding what they had done."
Paramedics took the six squirming boys to the nearby Royal Berkshire Hospital, where they were monitored until the effects of the little blue pills wore off. (The effects of Viagra are typically felt for up to 4 hours).
Can you imagine the poor bastards trying to explain THAT one to their parents!!
