Possibly a bomb, probably a half eaten pie.

Greetings & Salutations,
Today was generally a good day. Did well at work and got something done for Mick's concert which should be a major help. The launch date keeps creeping closer and closer. Before we know it, it'll be be September the 19th and 'Sincere Journey' by Michael Cook will be available to buy. He was in the local newspaper this week too. You can find the article on their website at 
Last night at work I was dropped off at my usual public transport punnet and I had a quarter of an hour to wait. So I'm waiting by the stop and I see a paper bag and I thought to myself "huh, someone's left their lunch on the seat.". So, I'm listening to my ipod and looking at the little paper bag outta the corner of my eye and wondering "what are the odds that that bag has a bomb in it?".
I edged a couple metres away.
The next thought that crossed my mind was "If that was a bomb. Of course hypothetically speaking. I don't really think it's a bomb, that's silly. But, hypothetically, what would its blast radius be?"
I edged a couple more meters away.
Although only a maximum of 5 minutes had passed according to the clock on my phone, it had felt like an age.
Slowly but surely I edged myself further and further away to the end of the station until I was as far as practically possible I sent an SMS to my girlfriend telling her I loved her and was proud of her. I had actually managed to convince myself that I might be blown up waiting for the frickin' tram by a half eaten pie!

So, from that link go to their latest paper, which as I type this is the 16/7/09, and go to page 4
