Juniper:
I've just seen the saddest thing. A squirrel with no tail!
This is also known as a rat. Rather a bizarre event occurred last Friday. Some cretin called the helpdesk in our office to say that he'd planted a bomb in our building which would explode in 30 minutes. He went on to point out how we would all die horribly before ending his call. So naturally, everyone left the building and the police were called. The police, in their wisdom, decided that - since there was still 15 minutes before the alotted time - they would like some volunteers to sweep the building for suspect packages/devices. Being not-at-all-dimwitted, I agreed, so 6 of us went running around the 4 floors looking in bags and checking drawers until 6.45 arrived and we all had to run out and wait for the explosion. When it didn't happen, we were almost immediately told it was safe to reassume our positions deskside and the police cruised off. It does seem strange that they'd have the public look for bombs, though, doesn't it. And when it didn't go off in exactly 30 minutes everything was suddenly fine and safe. What if the bombers couldn't count, eh? That said, I'm far more stupid for actually going back in.
