Police roped off Dealey Plaza on Wednesday morning after a passer-by found a plywood rat maze scrawled with prophetic messages and attached to a kitchen timer, police said.

Concerned it was a bomb, police examined the device and determined it was not explosive.

The 4-foot-square maze, which contained a live mouse or rat in an exercise ball, was found about 7:20 a.m. in front of the G.B. Dealey statue, at the center of the plaza where President Kennedy was shot in 1963, Dallas police Sr. Cpl. Max Geron said.

Written on the maze were messages such as, “There’s never enough time,” and “Open your eyes before it’s too late,” he said.“What caused officers concern was there was some sort of kitchen timer attached to a circuit board,” Cpl. Geron said.

3. I give it a 5 for creative use of cliches.

And bonus points for the kitchen implement. Still, that doesn't override the freak factor, or excuse being a general PIA and wasting people's time.
