I saw the news today, oh boy. Harvard was in the middle of a bomb threat, pretty serious stuff considering Harvard is in Boston and close to where the Boston Marathon bombing happened recently.
They mentioned that the campus had been closed, shutting down a bunch of final exams that were happening.
Hmmmmm, I thought...I betcha some student called in the bomb scare to get out of or delay one of his final exams. Well, what do ya know?

BOSTON (AP) — Bomb threats that led to the evacuations of four Harvard University campus buildings this week were made by a student trying to get out of taking a final exam, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
The student, 20-year-old Eldo Kim, sent emails saying bombs had been placed around campus to Harvard police, two university officials and the president of the Harvard Crimson newspaper, according to a criminal complaint filed by the U.S. attorney's office.
The messages said shrapnel bombs would go off soon in two of four buildings, including one where prosecutors say Kim was supposed to take an exam at 9 a.m. Monday. The buildings, on Harvard's campus in Cambridge, just outside Boston, were shut down for hours before investigators determined there were no explosives.
Kim, who lives in Cambridge, is to make an initial court appearance Wednesday. It was unknown if he had an attorney.
Investigators from several agencies searched the campus buildings for hours before determining there were no explosives. One of the buildings was a freshman dormitory; classes are held in the other three.
