    A receptionist in my school opened an envelope full of white powder this morning. Fire engines, police cars, police motorbikes, ambulances, men in protective suits with oxygen tanks and masks, some army trucks and soldiers with guns, and the Bomb Squad arrived at my school and we weren't allowed to leave for ages. I think it was cleared since they let us all go after nearly three hours without testing anyone. Anyone see that on the news?

    this is sneaky, insensitive and quite unnecessary, but if u had an improtant game against a school, u could post some folur to the school, set to arrive that morning of the game and the people wouldn't be alowed to leave the school, therefore forefeiting.

    i wouldn't advise it though...

    Hey Gandalf, if you think that's bad luck, what about the band called "I am the World Trade Center"!
