School is back this week, but not all news is good for one parent.
The mother of a 13-year-old boy discovered a colony of mould after her son failed to clean out his school bag in December.
“The contents of the rotten bag had somehow mutated into an advanced civilization.” Sue Lacky, mother of 2 from Eaglehawk, said. “Not only does the mould colony have its own fully functioning utopia, but I think I saw a Bunnings”.
Mrs Lacky was unsure what type of sandwich was left in the bag. A fruit formally known as an apple or peach was also discovered, and the CSIRO took away the mystery fruit for testing.
A CSIRO spokesperson said, “I’ve never seen anything like this. We believe we’ve uncovered a new fruit species: a hybrid apple, peach, and kiwi fruit called an apeiwi. The only identifiable characteristic is the wrinkly skin and fur.”
A vintage black banana or zucchini was also recovered underneath an unfinished assignment. It was mixed in with crushed Arnott’s biscuits and dried Red Bull.
Her son Lachy said, “I thought I cleaned out my bag. Geez, get over it, boomer.”
The EPA has deemed the boy’s room a bio-hazard.
The bag has been handed to Bendigo Art Gallery for their new ‘Old Bags of Bendigo’ exhibit.
