Girl, 5, makes bong in class


A five-year-old Territory girl shocked teachers when she showed her class how to make a bong out of a Coke bottle during a ``show and tell'' session.

The incident took place at a primary school in Darwin's northern suburbs.

The revelation comes amid mounting concerns over drug use among Territory primary school students.

At least two instances have been reported to the Education Department of children aged between five and 12 being caught with drugs at school.

That's the same David Bradley who was the "answer" to Final Jeopardy on an episode of that show's special college edition last fall.

It's the same David Bradley who saved Bill Gates' derriere before the Windows operating system became the monster it is today.
