Copycats? Oh, goody.

From this week's local newspaper:

A bomb threat scrawled on the wall of the boys' bathroom stall on the third floor of the Middle School caused school administrators to release students a few minutes early Monday afternoon...

Several bomb threats have been reported at high schools and middle schools in Billings since the shooting spree last week at Virginia Tech that took the lives of 35 people.

No, there have been no bombs. Just students with more time and less sense than they should have.

Lord, have mercy.
