If Harry Potter moves to Florida, let's hope he doesn't try to become a teacher.

After doing a magic trick in front of his students (making a toothpick disappear, then reappear), Jim Piculas received a call from his supervisor saying he was accused of wizardry and would therefor be fired.

Fla. Teacher Accused Of Wizardry - Orlando News Story - WKMG Orlando

So, is all wizardry in Florida banned, or is it just teachers who are not allowed to perform magic - secondly, obviously he wasn't actually performing magic, but illusions, so why can't he just show how the trick is done and keep his job?

I bet David Copperfield would go down really well in Florida

Actually, I think I am going to tell David Blaine to visit Florida, so his next trick can be "escaping from a locked jail cell".

I have no idea what in the hell is going on in the world today. Why can't some people just take a deep breathe and get a fucking grip. Jeez.

I represent the Society for the Ethical Treatment of Toothpicks and we are disgusted with this abuse of toothpick rights. This man has gotten what he deserved for disregarding the inalienable rights of toothpicks to remain in existance. Thank you.

Well what do you expect? It is Florida we are talking about here.

Vaelissa Cortes · 05-16-2008, 03:45 AM

Wow...just, what the hell is wrong with people?

Jellin Pico · 05-16-2008, 04:39 AM

I actually had to send an email to the Principal of the school in question

I have NEVER been ... I've never done that sort of thing before.

It might be ridiculous seeming, but this toothpick trick could be a gateway into more diabolical magic...

(R.I.P.)

Ewan Took · 05-16-2008, 07:48 AM

ROFL 'wizardry'? Not slight of hand and practiced reflexes, but actually magic. Cool.

Stuff like this makes me not want to go to FL for any reason.

Stuff like this makes me not want to leave my house. This kind of ignorant superstitious nonsense seems to be spreading like a mind vi... er, plague. This is the 21st century FFS! We're supposed to have flying cars and robots that do our housework and colonies on other planets!

Where does this supervisor live? I imagine great fun could be had tormenting him/her with a bed sheet, flashlight, and a tape recorder.

That is what I am talking about. I was lied to in the 80s.

This is the dumbest thing I have read all week. Wizardry? Really? Over a toothpick? Really? Incredible.

This seems like one of those, "I've been looking to fire you for general suckery but haven't come up with a good enough paper trail" firings.

Wizardry. Geesh. Why can't we take people like this principal and shake them until they have some common sense. I don't want to punch him or anything. I just want a really big guy to grab him by the lapels and shake him like a paint can until he has some common sense rattling around in his skull.

Just pretend to pull a pentagram out of his ear. He'd probably kill himself with a pencil trying to get the evil out of his head.

Whoever is able to solve the global warming problem or develop alternate energy, with either one powered by stupidity, will become the richest man/woman/robot/gorean/furry/car/fairy/leprechaun in the universe.

I'd settle for a solution powered by wizardry.

Not enough wizards but we have a vast, untapped, excessively renewable and non-depleting, and exponentially growing supply of stupidity.

I've about a dozen friends in SL who are from Florida IRL.

Every single one wants to get the hell out of there.
