Sometimes when you hear a ticking box at the post office, it's not a bomb. It's a watch.
A downtown post office was evacuated this morning when workers found a suspicious package that turned out to contain some watches, a spiral notebook and a few other personal items.

Postal workers called police around 8:23 a.m., and the resulting hubbub left thousands of downtown workers wondering the reason behind all the police tape and sirens.
It sounds silly after the fact, but something tells me that a package that's ticking is probably a pretty distinctive warning sign. A warning sign that whoever sent the bomb is really dumb. I mean really, what terrorist doesn't use digital timers these days?
