A Bit Of Excitement

1) I was online in the library Friday when someone set a bomb off. I was in the Technology Center on the first floor; the bomb was on the third floor. At first I thought someone had fired a gun on my floor, then when it wasn't repeated I thought maybe someone had knocked over a big bookshelf. A few minutes later a librarian came around and politely asked us to evacuate the building. Once outside we could see the hole (about one foot across and maybe 6 inches high) in the safety-glass window. The rest of the window was spider-webbed. It seems to have been a small pipe-bomb made of PVC plastic, placed on a chair right next to the window. No-one was hurt.

Apparently it was some kid who thought it would be funny. I haven't heard any report of an arrest yet.
