“Eiffel Over Laughing"

In Paris, the Eiffel Tower was evacuated Tuesday following a phoned-in bomb threat that turned out to be a false alarm. In fact, the only results of a Google search for “Paris bombs” were Paris Hilton’s movies.

A model of French professionalism and efficiency, Parisian police officers made a quick, thorough, and of course, snooty search.

Though there was French media chatter, evacuation of some startled tourists, and a brief wild goose chase for Parisian police seeking some mysterious object, the search turned up absolutely nothing significant. Experts say it was exactly like a Dan Brown novel.

Police found nothing suspicious when they searched the famous tower, but as a precaution, per official procedure, they surrendered.
