    The cable news channels were all excited about this the other morning. They seemed downright disappointed that no bombs went off.

    Well, it turns out it was just a student, trying to avoid a final:

    In 2009, Kim's essay, "Cultural Genocide: A Look into the Unknown," was the 1st place winner for the state of Washington in the U.S. Institute of Peace essay contest.

    If he's smart enough for Harvard,
    how was he stupid enough to leave a trail?

    Why would he be so afraid to take a final? Aren't they all guaranteed to get at least a C anyways?

    At one time journalists were told to not cover bomb threats until they actually exploded.

    I remember when some MIT students rigged up a weather balloon that popped up
    at mid field of a Harvard/ Yale football game and then exploded. At the time everyone thought it was ingenious and funny. Boy imagine that now.
