Friday Funny: The World's Worst Place to Raise a Child

"Parenting magazine released its annual list of the best and worst places to raise a child this week, once again naming the Mariana Trench—an undersea chasm located 36,000 feet beneath the western Pacific Ocean—as the least desirable location for rearing children," writes The Onion.

“'In all categories, the Mariana Trench consistently got our lowest marks as a good place to start a family,' the 14-page article read in part. 'The school system is nonexistent, the nearest playground is 300 nautical miles away, and at over 15,000 pounds per square inch, the hydrostatic pressure is enough to crush a child in less than a second.'”

“'While the area does contain a low crime rate, that benefit is quickly negated by the Mariana Trench’s lack of a police department, not to mention fire, sanitation, highway, or public works departments,' the article continued."
