Giant Space Laser Threatens School

That is, my school.

Seriously.

This has been confirmed by my school's staff. Recently, a woman from an Ann Arbor, Michigan mental institution phoned my school warning of a giant laser from space which was going to destroy all of Indiana. She called my school, Bishop Dwenger, in an attempt to save us from certain doom. Where did she hear this from? Her husband, who is the king of a galaxy nearby to the one attempting to use the laser. She called and left a number of messages about the laser, to which we later traced back to the mental institution. In her messages, she said that all the students were supposed to get on a bus and go to Salt Water, Michigan, and the staff was supposed to go the the chapel at Notre Dame. Upon our arival, a golden pyramid would come and take us to the planet where she was queen. She also called a local grade school, St. Vicent de Paul, becase it is where her son went "light years ago."

I am not kidding.

Upon getting these messages, my school was temporarily on lockdown, just in case there was some truth hidden in the messages. A friend of mine came in late from home to find a cop car outside the school and all of the doors locked. On the doors was a note saying "buzz in" -there was no buzzer. Upon hearing about this from a friend, I was of course skeptical. I was until I heard it mentioned in class, at which point the teachers confirmed it all as true.

So, yeah, giant space laser, golden pyramids, Michigan, and aliens -made for an interesting day.
 
In possibly related news, a comically enormous pan of stovetop popcorn has gone missing.

All we ever got in high school was bomb threats, some of which the principal decided to not tell anyone about until the next day.

Psh, my high school got bomb threats, and then the faculty told us about them, and then we got told to sit the fuck down and pay attention.

Yep. On more than one occasion students were informed of a bomb threat and then told immediately to ignore it.

I remember the guy who shot up some congressional offices in Washington a few years ago was raving about being directed by the "ruby control satellite" orbiting high overhead. In the book "A Beautiful Mind", the real John Nash was convinced he'd been contacted by aliens. I wonder why it is that so often the delusions of the mentally ill involve science, technology, space, and aliens?
 
A friend of mine who worked at the local planetarium used to get utterly bizzare phone calls all the time. The tinfoil brigade knew that the planetarium had something to do with space, and was therefore the cause of their problems. One person in particular was a regular, so she got used to reassuring them that, no, the space aliens weren't there and, no, they didn't care about her, etc, etc. She got pretty good at dealing with the cranks, with at least one phone call that went like this:

Crazy person: Look, I know that you're sending mind control beams into my home! Please stop!

Carolyn: Hold on a second. (pause) Alright, I've turned them off. Sorry about that.

Crazy person: Oh. Okay, thanks!

Because they're not crazy or delusional enough to believe in ghosts and demons, only the real crazy people believe in that =P

Anyway, they believe in science fiction type stuff because of the age we live in. Back a hundred years ago and further it was about the supernatural. Like people who believe that aliens visit them and probe them on their space ships today, back in the good ol' days it was the Devil putting a curse on them and torturing their souls.

1. A light year is a unit of distance, not time.
2. Your school probably got locked down in case this moron started to gun people down.
