Given their dirty accounting and it's affect on the stock price, there are several million shareholders and employees that are good suspects if anything serious happened.

Could just be that a pair of co-workers got really freaky and out-of-hand over the weekend. Either that, or Robert Chamberlain finally made bail.

This used to happen regularly at one place I worked. A joker would put vasoline on the earpiece of the phone if you ticked him off. Truly icky.

Sounds like someone jacked into a A/C vent from the outside of the building
I wonder if the selection of the 3rd floor vent means something or was a random selection.

Policeman (pulling a brown paper package from out of his pocket, very badly and obviously) Oo! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Here is a brown paper bag I have found on the premises. I must confiscate this, sir, and take it with me for clinical examination.
Young Man Wait a minute. You just got that out of your pocket.

Young Man (takes it) Well what's in it anyway? (opens it) Sandwiches.
Policeman Sandwiches? Blimey. Whatever did I give the wife?

Reminds me of a prank many years ago where someone put a sticky silicone gel on an obnoxious colleague's telephone earpiece -- and called him (with the whole office staff watching).

The jerk absolutely freaked out!! '-}

From WBNS 10 TV:

Hazmat Situation at Cardinal Health

Officials are dealing with a serious hazardous materials situation on the Cardinal Health campus off the north outer belt.

Two Cardinal Health employees drove themselves to the hospital complaining of a rash on their arms. Their current condition is unknown.

Twelve others are being held for observation, but they are not complaining of any symptoms.

The third floor of Cardinal Health was evacuated after a clear gel-like substance was found on phones and chairs.

Investigators are still trying to determine what that substance is.

Leslie Dybie of the Washington Township Fire Department says, "We don't know if they started to work and then felt the symptoms. It makes me think that they wouldn't start to work if they knew something was there, so we are assuming that they did not know that it was there."

Officials say that no employees beyond the third floor were in danger of being affected by the chemical.

The air vents were shut down, but the chemical is not thought to be airborne.
