Here's my bomb story.
Shortly after 9/11/01, I walked into our data center and saw a box sitting in front of one of the server racks, covered with a towel. I asked the other admins if they knew anything about it, and nobody knew anything about it. So I did what I was supposed to, I called security. Several minutes later, a guard found his way to our floor and went in the data center. He came out a couple minutes later to announce it was a false alarm. Seems like one of the nice old ladies in the billing office across the hall had brought in a box of treats, and as we didn't have a refrigerator, she figured she could put the box on one of the open floor grates and let the cool air from the air conditioner keep the frosting or whatever from melting. I'm not sure how she had a key to the data center, but security was pretty lax back then.
