Ticking "bomb" turns out to be....a metronome

Well, the package WAS ticking.

The Luther college Chips reports that the Luther Student Union was evacuated last Friday morning because of a suspicious package in the mail.  Workers at the Student Post Office heard a package ticking, so the package was moved outside and the building was evacuated.

The student to whom the package was addressed was tracked down--and informed authorities that the package contained a metronome that had been ordered online and somehow starting ticking during shipping.
