jhfWhen Bwog noticed that there was a “Found Explosive” on the Gothamist newsmap for 2950 Broadway–the address of the Journalism School–we were confused. Our confusion deepened after a call to the NYPD, who said that it was an “inert device.” Another call to Columbia Public Safety yielded another dimension to the puzzle: the bomb was a “replica.”

“Why would someone put a replica of a bomb in the Journalism School?” we asked the officer.

“I don’t know,” he replied, exasperatedly.

Mysteries abound.
