Those were the items blown up by the Cincinnati Fire Department's bomb squad Monday afternoon after a suspicious suitcase was found near a local restaurant.

The suitcase was found at about 2:25 p.m. in front of the Fuddrucker's restaurant on Madison Road in the Rookwood Pavilion shopping center.

bannanas and ... floor tiles??

In an x-ray, the bananas would look like sticks, and the tiles like circuit boards. Someone needs go to jail, and be 'Bubba's girlfriend.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around why banannas and tiles would be in a suitcase, at a Fudruckers no less.

One question...why were there floor tiles in the guy's suitcase? I can see clothes, of course, and maybe bananas if he was hungry (although I'd be afraid the bananas would get smushed in a suitcase). But who the h#ll is going around carrying floor tiles in their suitcase?

Banana-eating, traveling floor tile salesman maybe?

Somewhere a monkey sits on a cold tileless floor, naked and hungry.

If the suitcase were x-rayed, the bananas wrapped together, with floor tiles will look like sticks of dynamite with a circuit board for the detonator.

This was not an accident, but either a warning, or a very sick joke.

Great song at #33!

I bet Bingo was behind the suitcase. He struck me as having manic terrorist tendencies.
