Boston Bomb Scare
Someone gets some circuit boards, solders some LEDs to them, attaches a battery and magnets and puts them around Boston in a bit of creative prank/graffiti fun.

Boston, eh?
It seems a bit banal for an MIT hack, but I suppose a freshman's gotta start somewhere...

Well for one thing, the moon has one third less gravity than your earth, I don't know if you can understand that, but our vertical leap is beyond all measurement. -Ignignokt Alright, when I say your name, you say 'here.' And we will assume 'here' is short for 'here I am...rock you like a hurricane.' -Ignignokt Here on the moon, our weekends are so advanced, they encompass the entire week. -Ignignokt Bow your heads or I'll bow em for ya! -Err

Hopping around the coverage of this, I gotta say- who do "the officials" think is menacing our country? A Batman villain? Do they seriously think that a bomb is going to be covered with blinky lights in the form of a cartoon character?

On the plus side for Turner, they can now start selling them. Boston just made them the hot commodity on college campuses across the nation.
