We had a bomb scare thinggy at school today...
At first we all thought it was just a fire drill (Even though it had never happened at lunch times...) but then the coppers turned up and then like a Bomb Squad thinggy came (Or so I've been told that they came...I only saw the coppers) and our year adviser was laughing when she was getting us out of the school (My friends and I went out the Front Office and we asked her what was happening and she said that it wasn't a drill and told us to hurry...but we didn't believe her because she was calm and slightly cheerful as she got rid of us...)

Ooh Scary, I like fire drills, but nothing to do with Bombs !
I had one of those when I was in Middle School...they made us stand outside away from the building (in the sleet mind you, this was in February) for two hours while they swept the building, and they wouldn't even let us go back for our coats until they had officially decided to cancel school for the day...then we got to go in, accompanied by a teacher to get our stuff and we had to be out of the building again in 10 minutes. Never found anything, and half of us were sick for the next week because of standing outside with no jackets in the sleet.
Turned out to be some stupid kid who was mad at a teacher.
Speaking of bombs, yesterday was a historical day that didn't get much mention in the news. Yesterday in 1945, the U.S. dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. I've always been disturbed by this act in our history.
I was taught that we did this to save the lives lost during a ground invasion, which (so they say) would have been a lot more. Actually, I think it just would have been our soldiers getting killed as well.
Not our finest hour, but I'm glad that line of thinking doesn't prevail today. The first lines uttered by the man who released the bomb on board the Enola Gay were reportedly: "My God, what have we done?"
This was done at a time before CNN, and news coverage in general. 3 days later, the Japanese still didn't know what hit them and it took another devastating blow. At the core of the explosion: 9000 degrees and winds at 1000 m.p.h.
this may come as no surprise to some but i have caused many a bomb scare over the years,but i doubt if many have caused a bomb scare with a trombone....

Tehe..great that I'm alright and even better that I didn't have to do maths!
(Or at least that's my opinion... =P)

Why bombs though?
why not set fire to Mattresses and then throw them?
