A bomb squad was called in to a Davenport, Iowa home on Monday after new tenants found a strange gizmo in the basement. Former resident Jessica Harper said the device was given to her by her mother's astrologer friend who said it would keep aliens living underground at bay. From the Associated Press:
(Harper) said she didn't want to throw it away because it wasn't hers…
Authorities would not confirm the device's purpose, but they said it looks dangerous.
