I’m about to get dressed and go to Souper Salad to pick up some dinner, but this just popped up on my newsreader, and I just HAVE to share it.

ANKENY, Iowa - Several classrooms at Des Moines Area Community College were evacuated after college officials became nervous about a suspicious package.

College officials called police and postal inspectors after the box was delivered Thursday. What they found inside wasn’t a bomb — it was a box containing 500 condoms.

The package was sent to a teacher of a human sexuality class, and was sent by a person who had been a previous speaker at the class, said Rob Denson, the college’s president.

Do we live in a culture of fear or what?! Someone you have met before and likely still remember sends you a package (of condoms), and it leads to a freak-out?! What in the world made them think it was a bomb? I guess the next time someone I know sends me something in a box, I better have it exploded first, just to be sure.
