So this one is a little old, but nonetheless... deadly weird:





"California authorities said a bomb scare turned out to be a false alarm when it was discovered the suspicious device was just a breast pump.

Six homes in Hemet were evacuated Friday when the gadget was found in a mailbox by a resident who had no idea what it was or how it got there.

The puzzled resident noticed the metal box and wires and decided to call the Riverside Sheriff's Department.

The (Riverside, Calif.) Press-Enterprise said the bomb squad was dispatched to the scene and ordered the neighbors out of their homes for nearly 2 hours while technicians investigated the object."





Ok this is scary, and on some levels I would have preferred the breast pump to be a bomb. Because then we wouldn't have to be dealing with this random person sticking breast pumps in people's mailboxes. Either that or the mailman really wants to formula feed his baby... "She wont find it in here."





What angers me about this also is how the man immediately jumps to the conclusion that the metal box with wires is a bomb. Surely it wasn't his first spotting of an electronic device? Next we will be hearing of how he threw his iPhone out a window then called the bomb squad.



Another thing, it took technicians 2 hours to discover that it was a breast pump 2 hours? But what I would have liked to have seen was the look on the mans face when they revealed it was a breast pump. How hard he would have tried to convince the technicians that it wasn't his. Or maybe he got caught with the breast pump, threw it in the mailbox and declared it to be a bomb. As a matter of fact, that seems more likely than the scenario he painted



Thanks for reading
