'Bomb' at law office proves to be turnip

FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 14 (UPI) -- The bomb squad in Fort Wayne, Ind., spent several hours dealing with a suspicious package that turned out to contain a turnip.

Employees at the Haller & Colvin law firm called police after they opened the package and found a blue gift bag, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reported Friday. Police summoned bomb squad officers, who arrived with a robot and X-ray equipment.

After the package was discovered Thursday, the robot, nicknamed "Bob," carried it to a parking lot. It was X-rayed there -- using remote-controlled equipment -- and determined to be something other than an explosive device.

At that point, several hours after the scare began, officers opened the gift bag and found a raw turnip. It had been sent to Mark GiaQuinta, a lawyer with Haller & Colvin and president of the Fort Wayne community school board.

If the Country continues to sell vegetables the Terrorists win.

So the terrorists weren't trying to blow up a law office in Fort Wayne Indiana?

What a shocker.

I remember on 9/11, my lunch was cancelled at the Amarillo Club, which is on the top floor of the Amarillo National Bank building. A towering 32 story building. Logically, the building was evacuated, seeing as it was the tallest building inbetween Dallas and Dever, a prime target for a vicious terrorist attack. Frankly, it only makes sense that these terrorists, after attacking the world trade center and the pentagon, would attack the local bank building in Amarillo.

I thank the proud Amarillo and Fire Departments. Without their bravery, I might have been the victim of a horrific terrorist attack.

Sincerely,

I remember the police station in NYC that was shut down as a result of powder from a donut being mistaken for anthrax.

That one had my sides hurting.

you know what I find crazy about this story? not the fact that authorities thought a turnip was a bomb, but the fact that someone sent someone else a turnip as a gift.
