Handwavium raid ends in escape

OSHKOSH, Wis., Oct. 12 (UPI) -- A raid by federal and state agents on the Sandwich Group International compound at Wittman Airport ended with a dramatic

daylight escape, officials said.

The 9 a.m. raid was part of a nationwide sweep of suspected handwavium users. Sandwich Group International was under suspicion since early April, when the

group purchased a former Soviet space shuttle and moved it into a hangar at Wittman.

The alleged handwavium users escaped from the compound aboard what witnesses claimed was the space shuttle, which burst out of the hangar at 9:15 a.m. Elements

of the Wisconsin and Michigan Air National Guard engaged the shuttle briefly over Lake Michigan, but the vehicle escaped into orbit.

Officials recovered destroyed electronic equipment and six barrels of handwavium. The handwavium will be turned over to the Transrationality Science Assessment

Bureau for analysis.

I only have trouble with it sometimes. Usually it tends to behave, but I seriously believe the folks at Yuku have some bugs to work out.
