Someone I sold something to online got very angry with me and kept saying I was going to pay over and over in emails. Well, I just recieved the package I sent to him. It said the adressee refused it. The date on it is the same day he made those threats. When I picked it up it seems like it was lighter and made noise like more than one thing was inside. I shipped it a box inside of a box with lots of those little plastic things. So now I am not sure if I should open it or not, lol. I am afraid it may blow up on me. I went ahead and stuck it in a corner in the basement in case it blows up. :)

In the corner of your basement?

You should think about taking the box and printouts of the threatening e-mail to the police and let them deal with it! Remember the Unabomber?

What if it blows your house up!!!!

Well, would that cost money? I mean he did not send it to me, he just returned it. Chances are it is not a bomb, I just don't want to take the chance to open it, hehe.

I think you'd have to be pretty "lucky" to get a bomb in the mail [THESE days...] I doubt it would cost you any money at all to get it inspected.

Take it in your back yard, and hide behind the corner of your house. Now to do this correctly, you need a very long stick. Once everything is in place, procede to poke the package with a stick. If it looks like it's about to explode, run away. Another way is to throw the package as high up in the air as you can, then run away really fast.

If you take it to the police and really think there is a chance it could be, it shouldn't cost any money at all. Its part of their job after all.

I would probably take it to the police as well, especially since you dont think i contains the same thing you shipped out, might sound a little paranoid, but these days you never know.

Cut the box open from the side, where there wouldn't be a trigger.

Mrs. Maggot's guide to figuring out wether that package you have is a bomb!

1) Get your package.
2) Does it have "BOMB" written on it? If so, proceed to Chapter 2. If not, continue.
3) Does it make a ticking noise? If so, check it is not a clock. If it is not a clock, proceed to chapter 2. If not, go to Chapter 3.

Chapter 2
You have a bomb on your hands. Here are some possible solutions.
1) Flush it down the toliet.
2) Flush it down the family cat.
3) Flush it down a flushing thing.
4) Stick it in a dishwasher, make it nice and shiny, and then flush it down something.
5) Eat it.
6) Drink it.
7) Poke it with a stick until it explodes.

Chapter 3
You do not have a bomb.

Throwers don't worry about ticking.
Modern bombs don't tick.

Excuse me? "Throwers?"

Baggage handlers. But when a
suitcase vibrates, the throwers have
to call the police.

NARRATOR
My suitcase was vibrating?

that sounds like the most professional way of diffusing a bomb. you could always hose it down for a while and hope to dilute any potentially explosive chemical agents. if you're still weary about it, just toss it into the neighbors backyard and let their dog chew on it for a while.

well i was going to say drop it off at an elementary school but that's kind of cruel. -- hopefully it's one of those little yappy dogs and not a real dog like a rottie or a lab. :?

If its just a package, then no harm done.
If its a bomb however, eh no harm done.

I know, I am just joking...this is not the time or the place where the revolution will begin...

Anyway, I don't own a computer but I am looking to buy one soon. Besides I never said I wasn't part of the system, I am as dependant on it as any other. All I wish is to someday be free of it, but I fear if that day ever comes it will be a very distant time away. Anyway....

Get a giant Mcdonalds burger and poke the package. Those damn things are indestrucible! Ever tried eating them?
