 "Student Suspended Over Suspected Use of PHP Topeka, KS - High school
sophomore Brett Tyson was suspended today after  teachers learned he may
be using PHP.

     "A teacher overheard him say that he was using PHP, and as part of
our  Zero-Tolerance policy against drug use, he was immediately
suspended. No questions asked," said Principal Clyde Thurlow.   "We're
not quite sure what PHP is, but we suspect it may be a derivative of
PCP, or maybe a new designer drug like GHB."

 From later in the article (perhaps it's April Fool's Day.....)

 "PHP is a hypertext preprocessor, which sounds very dangerous.  It is
believed that  many users started by using Perl and moved on to the more
powerful PHP For more information on how to recognize if your child may
be using PHP please visit  http://www.php.net.

 Actually in the "food" world PCP stands for "Portion Control Pack" -
the small containers that contain small amounts of tomato sauce, or
whatever....
