This is how my day is going:
"ALERT:
UMaine police have received a bomb threat. Police and safety officials do not believe this threat to be credible, so UMaine will remain open and business will continue as usual. We’re providing this information so that members of the UMaine community can make decisions with which they feel comfortable. Those who wish to gather in a place that has been assured as being safe may proceed to Memorial Union, which will be available shortly. Faculty members should use their best judgment as to whether to continue with classes. Employees who feel compelled to leave campus for the day should notify their supervisor, and use accrued leave time or authorized leave without pay. The Washington Post and other news sources report today that similar threats at other educational institutions have occurred in at least 10 states."
I'm glad that college students are ignorant and petty enough to take advantage of the currently high tensions on college campuses. It's not as though there's any benefit to them, other than winning the "double dog dare" they probably had going.
*sigh*
