Eat a dead fly, ace your algebra test. Just kidding...

"Stephen Zeldag, a student at Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills, said his Algebra II teacher crushed a fly between his hands during class last month and dared any of his students to eat it.

"He said, 'If anybody eats this fly then I will give them an A on this test,'" Stephen said. He volunteered and swallowed the fly, sealing the deal with a handshake with his teacher.

"I didn't think he was joking at all," he said.

Stephen didn't get an A on his test: He got an F, with a score of nine out of 46...

The principal said he is launching an investigation into the incident."

If this kid lived in Minnesota, he'd be out on the playground with his tongue frozen to the flagpole...
