I like the part where it looked like a "movie bomb." It is
amazing how many morons actually believe real bombs have
flashing lights and displays to warn you that it is going to
explode. Several years ago in the Boston area a group posted
their logo with flashing leds to attract attention for an
upcoming event. They were assumed to be bombs and created
quite a stir.
