"I'm pretty sure my optical mouse is a bomb. It has a weird light underneath." -- Timm Murray 2007-02-23, in a comment to an entry in Bruce Schneier's blog, about the number of inoccuous items being treated as bombs by authorities.

"I just noticed that every parking spot in my city has mechanisms mounted on sturdy steel-pipe columns -- which makes me think of super pipe bombs -- and the mechanisms have countdown displays that show in red 'EXPIRED' -- which I assume means detonation time. If I tip off the police, will the bomb squad destroy these infernal devices?" -- Roy, 2007-02-23, in another comment to the same post.
