What in the wide world of sports…?

Via Ben Goldacre's Bad Science comes this from the Mail...

RAF Harrier jump jets have blown up the world’s biggest drug haul in Afghanistan by dropping three 1,000lb bombs on a 237-ton stash of cannabis.

Officials believe the area - near to the Taliban stronghold of Quetta in Pakistan - was turning dried cannabis leaves into heroin.

Er, what?

Officials believe the area... was turning dried cannabis leaves into heroin

These would be fucking stupid officials then. Either that or there's some mystical process by which you leave an eighth out in the sun and it turns into smack. Well I guess, given the Mail's informed and unsensational approach towards recreational drug use, that's exactly what they think really happens.

In tomorrow's Mail: Man turns apple into banana, according to officials, whom we mustn't question in the slightest as they obviously know more than us.
