We won't even bother questioning the educational value of a nursery school field trip to a local burger joint, but we would like to know what teacher Melanie Minnie was thinking when she stuffed 19 kids into her supermini car in South Africa. A shopper watched in disbelief as the little ones clambered in Ringling Bros. style  three riding shotgun, six in the hatchback and 10 in the back seat  and alerted the cops. Miss Minnie, who'd already transported a haul of 12 kids without a hitch, was pulled over a block away. She was fined $175 and said this outing would be her teeny school’s first and last. [Source]
