Washington Post: Bike Band Sticker Causes Bomb Scare
ATHENS, Ohio — A sticker on a bicycle that said “this bike is a pipe bomb” caused a scare Thursday at Ohio University that shut down four buildings before authorities learned the message was the name of a punk rock band, a university spokesman said.
How moronic is this? What stupid terrorist would label their bike as containing a pipe-bomb if it really did contain one?
The bomb experts hit the bike with a high-pressure spray of water, then pried it apart with a hydraulic device normally used to rescue accident victims trapped in cars, acting Athens Fire Chief Ken Gilbraith said. Once they had it open, they saw there was no bomb.
Poor bastard learns his lesson the hard way don’t stick stickers on your bike that contains statements that could be misconstrued by moronic figures in authority or else you’ll have your bike dismantled by heavy machinery.
Dean of Students Terry Hogan urged students to be more careful when showing support for the band from Pensacola, Fla.
