A church youth group attempting a "random act of kindness" is claiming responsibility for a bomb scare that emptied city hall Monday morning.



A package of candy the group left for someone to find in a decorative cannon instead brought the Athens-Clarke police bomb squad, which blew up the offering of taffy and Jolly Rancher hard candies.


"We take full responsibility for this," said Tara Bulger, youth director for the First Presbyterian Church of Athens.

2. I'd put this on a level with the time

A local store was shut down for hours and all customers detained because they found some white powder...at the beauty counter.

3. A decorative cannon?

Somebody call Martha Stewart, I'm sure everyone will be wanting them this year.
