The residents of a tiny Ohio town called the bomb squad when they started discovering "suspicious packages" littered throughout the town on April 1st. It turns out that the packages were the result of an April Fools prank in which five girls from Ravenna, Ohio (a town of approximately 12,000 residents) placed 17 cardboard replications of the iconic Super Mario Brothers power-up cubes throughout town, according to news stories carried in local papers.

Come on now, who DOESN'T know what to do when you see a floating question marked box??
Hit it with your head, obviously!!
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeez!
From Engadget:
Unfortunately that didn't stop the HAZMAT and Fire Department crews from stepping in to defuse the situation, so to speak, and for it the five girls could face serious criminal charges. Too bad, because if those guys would have just jumped up and hit them from beneath they might instead have walked away with a sweet power-up (or an extra man).
LOL
It's sad that we're losing our sense of humour. I think it was a very funny and cute joke and I certainly hope that they won't be charged for this little prank. C'mon people!
