Police Say Bomb Suspect Aimed to Make 'Smiley Face'

The 21-year-old college student accused of planting pipe bombs across the U.S. Midwest planned to arrange the devices in the shape of a giant "smiley face" stretching across the map of the United States, authorities said on Thursday.

Police said Luke Helder, an art student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, divulged his design after he was arrested on Tuesday outside Reno, Nevada.

"Immediately after he was taken into custody, in a conversation with one of my deputies, he said something to the effect when he is finished he wanted to make a smiley face," Pershing County, Nevada, Sheriff Ron Skinner told Reuters.

Maybe we should really consider putting on capes and tights and duking it out in the streets...
