Seems like a shame to throw away and must have a use.

A school was ordered to pay nearly £20,000 in fines and legal costs today after a pupil lost all but two of her fingers in an art lesson.

The penalty was increased on the Giles foundation school in Boston, Lincolnshire, because staff failed to report the "catastrophic" incident, involving plaster of paris, to the Health and Safety Executive.

WTF was it increased from, £2000? Maybe I'm just used to settlements in the hundreds of millions of USD but that seems insultingly low, even for 15 years ago.

Edit: OMG 2009 was fifteen years ago...
