BOY STUCK IN GAME MACHINE

About once a year we hear the story of a young tot who finds himself stuck up inside one of those crane game machines. Somehow the little tyke crawls up through the prize hatch and gets trapped inside. If it weren't for the pictures and the speed of the Internet, we might never hear about these little David Blaine-wannabes. But, because we DO have the Internet, we can report that it has happened once again -- this time in Australia, where Lachlan Stevens grinned at spectators who couldn't help but giggle away as he stared at them from inside the toy vending machine. It took rescue personnel about 30 minutes to free Lachlan. When they opened the machine and freed the boy, everyone said he should be given a toy but his mother refused. "He definitely didn't get a toy," she said. "They did try to give him one but I said don't you dare -- he'll do it again."
