A professor of philosophy and a professor of criminology, enacting Canadian human rights and medical marijuana legislation, were granted the right to smoke the green plant in specially ventilated rooms near their offices this week.

According to a report by Reuters, both professors suffer from chronic medical conditions and their doctors say smoking pot can alleviate some of the physical symptoms of pain. Each professor was able to convince their academic employers that they must have the right to smoke on campus as opposed to their previous arrangements to make trips just off university grounds to partake.

York University professor of criminology, Brian Maclean, suffers from degenerative arthritis.

University of Toronto professor of philosophy, Doug Hutchinson, suffers from severe debilitating pain.

“Without the medication, I am disabled and I’m not able to carry out meaningful and valuable, productive work. It helps me to maintain my mobility as a physical problem but it also helps me to keep the pain at a distance so I can focus on my work,” professor MacLean explained in an interview with Reuters.

A mysterious 18-inch ice chunk fell from the sky and crushed the upper portion of a car belonging to a man from Florida. The roof of the Ford Mustang, owned by Andre Ravage, 20, was crushed down to its seats on Sunday.

Ravage’s neighbor Raymond Rodriguez was changing a tire when the strange chunk fell from the sky. “I was scared,” AP quotes Rodriguez as saying who was only a foot away. “It’s crazy, man.”

The Federal Aviation Administration is speculating if the chunk fell off from some plane’s lavatory. However, the ice did not have a blue tint meaning it was not from a plane.

According to the National Weather Service, the conditions in Tampa are not suited for the formation of large balls of ice, known as megacryometeors. However, no one was hurt in the incident.

A Casper man, unfamiliar with the workings of a new pistol he recently purchased ended up firing the weapon accidentally with the bullet striking yet another man using the bathroom in the next building.

The bullet hit the man in the chest leaving a small bruise that did not require treatment. The bullet’s speed was slowed after traveling through two walls, across a courtyard and rebounding off a shower wall.

AP quotes police Sgt. Mark Trimble as saying, “It’s one of those freak happenings.” The incident occurred about noon Sunday.

However, the owner of the gun Erick Hovermale of Casper was left with only with a small scratch on his arm. He was given a misdemeanor charge for discharging a firearm in city limits.

One student is offering $130 to a woman willing to pose as his girlfriend to impress his parents during the holidays.

Zhu Lijie, a Peking University student in China, posted an advertisement on a bulletin board asking that a woman pretend to be his partner for 10 days during the Lunar New Year holiday.

The man told local media that he has been telling his parents he was studying too hard to earn a degree in physics to meet a woman. But this year he wants to impress them.

The bulletin asked that the women be kind, honest and have a degree. He is offering 1000 Yuan or $130. The holiday starts on February 18.

Although the advertisement seems innocent, Peking University police have issued a warning to women to avoid these requests.

After 300 years, the Witch of Pungo is no longer a witch.

Virginia Governor Timothy M. Kaine gave an informal pardon on Monday to Grace Sherwood, who became Virginia’s only person convicted as a witch tried by water.

Kaine said in a letter, “I am pleased to officially restore the good name of Grace Sherwood. With 300 years of hindsight, we all certainly can agree that trial by water is an injustice. We also can celebrate the fact that a woman’s equality is constitutionally protected today, and women have the freedom to pursue their hopes and dreams.”

Sherwood, a midwife who at times wore men’s clothing, lived in what today is the rural Pungo neighborhood.

Her neighbors thought she was a witch who ruined crops, killed livestock and conjured storms, and she went to court a dozen times, either to fight witchcraft charges or to sue her accusers for slander.

On July 10, 1706, she was dropped into the Lynnhaven River and floated, which was considered proof that she was guilty.

According to the belief system of the time, she would have sunk if she were innocent.

She was in jail until about 1714 before being let out. She then lived a quiet life until her death at 80.

Monday’s ceremony also included a reenactment of Sherwood’s dunking into the river.
