<<< BREAKING - LIBERTY BELL Evacuated >>>>

white powder? someone spilled some of their foot powder or a guard dropped his cocaine...LOL

PHILADELPHIA - A park official says a white powder found in a balloon near the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia was flour.

I actually went by there twice today.

Luckily it was in the morning, so I avoided all the street-closings.

I can't imagine what the traffic situation must've been like on Market or Chestnut streets (I'm not sure which one they closed)...

I get the joke, but actually, not that I'm advocating and/or hoping for it, but that section of the city would be a prime area to dump some kind of awful bio-weapon.

The Bell itself it housed in this lonnnnnnnnnng, narrow building, usually lined from end-to-end with tourists from all nations.

Across the street to the south is Independence Hall, and the Constitution Center is across the street to the north (both of which are ALWAYS brimming with tourists, tons of children on school field trips, ect...).

And then all around, basically, is downtown Philly.

If you were to release some kind of vicious virus, the international flavor of the crowds would quite possibly go a ways towards starting a global epidemic...

It's scary to think about.

Well that explains the helicopters this afternoon...

99 red ballons

Oh my God, the flash mobs...

One of my very bestest friends in the world lives on South Street, about half a block from where that one occurred a month or 2 ago.

The second I heard about it I called her right away. Luckily I forgot she'd had to work late that night, and by the time she got home it had "dispersed". And besides her, another 2 friends of mine (not "bestst buds" but "buds", nontheless) live in that same building. They were both fine, too, luckily...

Fuckin' flash mobs... I honestly have no idea what to do about these idiots. I literally have no clue...

Oh my God, triple-post. Forgive me. This fuckin' wireless connection of mine....

...continue to forgive me.....

Probably a homemade stress-ball. Fill a balloon with flour and that is basically what you have.

It was a stress ball alright...

It was traded for the security bell...

We miss you George... a lot.
