In Bangkok, Thailand in 1996, police searched the men's room of Thailand's Parliament after an anonymous bomb threat was phoned in. They got a surprise. They found a box they feared contained a bomb, but discovered the contents were an abandoned monitor lizard. "Monitor lizard fails to explode in MPs' toilet," the Bangkok Post reported in its front-page headline.
