I love when people freak out over this stuff, it reminds me that half of the people in any given area are dumber than myself by more than half... I mean, at least I can read......

OT: I love it... if I was going to make a bomb, it wouldn't be in something that looked like a a bomb case. Call me crazy. I don't know who is stupider, the people making the bombs or the people looking for the bombs. Either way, one needs to make their recruiting more strict, if not both.

There was a dead scorpion in it, a REAL scorpion?

Look im not a PETA level animal "lover" but that seems a little f'd up. I know scorpions are some of the most primal animals on the planet and have no sense of feeling (at least in the mental sense) but killing them for a movie promotion seems a little messed up.

Damn terrorist foreigners screwing everything up.

Heimdall: I am Heimdall and this is Thor.
Thor: I am Thor.
Heimdall: We are Asgardians from the inner core of the... As.
Thor: You said it right.
Heimdall: Our race is hundreds of years beyond yours.
Thor: Man, you hear what he's saying?

Throwing it away...... some people just do not appreciate useless memorabilia!
Or what people will pay on eBay.

What the heck does a dead scorpion and sugar cube got to do with the Thor or join the so called Shield at all?
Thor brings the Scorpion back to life and gives the sugar cube magic powers and has the two objects fight to the death. Obvious really.

Why'd they throw it away though?
1. It's a promo pack, the industry equivalent of a really complex brochure. Multiply the coupon books you get in your mailbox by 100 and add some actual design, and then try to get work done with all that on your desk. No matter how cool it looks, do you keep the free promo literature to every video game or movie you see? How about made?

2. Technically, they didn't throw it away, they recycled it. Good for them, IMO.

"Reanimate lifeless scorpion with sugar cube. Battle until one of you is dead."

That is just epic. Seriously...that is just gold.
Agreed. Best thing I've read all day! This weeks challenge: work it into a conversation somehow....

Silly Flauros your logic makes no sense.

Thor was a good movie.
How long have you been having these ideas about this "Thor"? Because, you know. We still might be able to help you and you might be able to live a normal happy life. It is not too late.

I find it funny how in American a box in trashcan is a bomb when I Finland it is a collectors dream. Oh, the differences in our culture...

But why did they trowed it out, they could have ebayed it.
1. No one can help me. I'm too awesome.
2. People are stupid. Not specifically in the U.S but they are.

I am a bomb technician and it's never failed to amaze me how often we're called out to "disarm" items that in no way, under any circumstances, could possibly be a bomb. I've been called on purses, briefcases, bags of trash, even cellphones. I always say better safe than sorry, but sometimes people can be idiots. Unfortunately those calls are usually on weekends or holidays.

If you're serious, I'd warn you of this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsive_hoarding].

And remember, you're not talking about your workspace at an operation that gets promo from a lot of auto makers. A. LOT. Cool movie tie-in or not, they didn't want it taking up the space. Maybe you should recycle-bin dive them, in the future.

I never throw away cool memorabilia anyway. Also there are a number of things they could've done.
1. Give/auction it to one employee who wanted it.
2. Give it to anybody that wanted it.
3. Have a designated space for keeping it.

or if all else fails then they could recycle it or whatever. But I dunno why they jumped to throwing it away.

You know, when I make bombs, I like to use scorpions as shrapnel.
really, how do you mistake that?
Well, the problem with this model is that it only has one scorpion. That produces not near enough poison carrying shrapnel at all!

OT: Ker-sigh...people are so ridiculous.
