"Suspicious White Powder" Found At Austin Post Office
Posted on 11/16/2005 8:17:47 PM PST by Rose in RoseBear
Local ABC television affiliate KVUE-TV news led off tonight with a breaking report of a "suspicious white powder" found on a sorting machine at the main post office here in Austin, Texas. (This is the post office on Cross Creek, not the one downtown.) The powder was found around 8:15pm local time. The post office has been evacuated, first responders are on the scene, and the postal inspectors are on their way. Preliminary tests have come back positive for a protein in the powder. More when I hear more ...

If it's Austin -- it must be Ronnie Earl's Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder, to treat his chapped ass.

Ann Arbor News Report:
Football practice in Ann Arbor was delayed on Monday for nearly two hours. One of the offensive players, while on his way to the locker room, happened to look down and notice a suspicious looking, unknown, white powdery substance on the practice field.
The head coach, Lloyd Carr, immediately suspended practice while the FBI was called in to investigate. After a complete field analysis, the FBI determined that the white substance unknown to the players was the goal line.
Practice was resumed when the FBI decided that the team would not be likely to encounter the substance again.
