Three "blockheaded" teenagers, as the Daily News puts it, were enjoying a good old fashioned romp in the sewage system yesterday when they got confused and lost their way. 16-year-old Schiller Milfort and 17-year-old Marvin Ottley were joined by an unidentified 15-year-old boy during the misadventure in Queens. An NYPD source mused, "These three idiots were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wanted to go into the sewers." The News reports that the trio were finally rescued unharmed from a sewer in Kissena Park, sans shirts or shells, and Milfort and Ottley were charged with trespassing.
