It appears that someone in Copenhagen has an unacceptably sick sense of humour:
Police Shoot Teddy at Jehovah's Witness Hall
Fri Jan 24, 8:14 AM ET
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A Danish bomb squad shot to pieces a teddy bear left on the doorstep of a Jehovah's Witness hall on Thursday evening with a note saying it contained a bomb, police said.
A group of Jehovah's Witnesses on their way into a meeting had found the cuddly toy with a note reading: "If you touch me I will blow up. I am a bomb."
Police told the 80 Jehovah's Witnesses to leave the hall in a quiet suburb six miles northwest of Copenhagen, and closed off the surrounding area to traffic.
A bomb-disposal robot then approached the bear. "The bomb unit fired two shots at the teddy bear and there was no reaction. There is nothing that indicates that there actually was a bomb," a Copenhagen police duty officer told Reuters.
Police said they were trying to establish who was responsible for the hoax.
