Surreal news

This headline: FBI: Powder Found in Texas Dorm Not Ricin is from an AP news story I found on myway.com

Now, if you were the FBI and you found “powder” in a dorm room, would your first thought be “a poison that can be made from the waste left over from processing castor beans” ?

Yeah, mine neither.

    This was (and still is) so so so so smelly.

    Ah, it’s a university, ah…it’s a prank. Please…this is our “law enforcement?”

    Perhaps more disturbing is how “inconclusive” the initial test results were.

    Let’s see — roll of quarters, laundry, white powdery substance. I’m just not connecting the dots…

    If it ain’t laundry soap, it’s a crappy university band. The students have won!
