In a stunning display of a really bad idea, it seems a student decided to do a public art piece that involved a giant plastic barrel and the words "I GO BOOM." There was, understandably, much concern.

i was walking back to work from lunch and the main courtyard and the surrounding block were taped off by police tape. i saw in from across the street that there was a big white plastic drum with the lid open and "I GO BOOM" spray-painted on it.

Now, it's not just some crazy internet rumor, as the incident was confirmed by the College of Charleston's director of media relations.
