Mario blocks will get you arrested
This post was published 3 years 7 months 21 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.About nine months ago we linked a story regarding home-made Mario style power blocks for use the public. Jake recently dropped us a line to let us know of what type of trouble one may find themselves in while playing a real-life version of Mario.
The Portage County Hazardous Materials Unit and Bomb Detection Unit were called in to downtown Ravenna on Friday morning after seventeen suspicious packages — boxes wrapped in gold wrapping paper with question marks spray painted on them — had alarmed residents.
I guess the residents of Portage County were a little too old to recognize what exactly each of the packages represented. I guess from the standpoint of someone who has never played the game, a wrapped package with a question mark emblazoned on the side would look somewhat suspicious.
wow thats the stupidest thing ive seen in a long time. its just sad that no one got the joke behind them.
yeah, but why would something that’s actually suspicious so obviously call attention to itself? don’t suspicious things usually look like suitcases, mail packages, or I don’t know…box cutters?
