Apparently, some other jackhole - indeed, one of the jackest of holes, if that was a thing - had left a suitcase with what appeared to be a bomb in the luggage compartment of the bus. Actual quote from the CBP people x-raying the abandoned suitcase: "Oh, that's not good!" - after that, we were all led to a room where they took our passports, did some basic questioning and we had to sit and wait for something like 6 hours while they closed off the tunnel + a couple of blocks of Detroit, lots of cops etc showed up, complete with the Hurt Locker outfit, little robot and what have you.
When everything was kinda sorted out, we had to wait for an hour, maybe hour and a half, for the next bus from Canada, cuz our driver had been awake for so long, he wasn't allowed to drive the bus to the station. Finding out we could have walked to the station in fifteen minutes or so was just... great.
Still, made it back safe and sound, got a story to tell family and friends, and I'll never forget when the guy in charge asked if everyone was sure that nobody wanted to admit they owned the suitcase - "You're not in any trouble, we just want to know so we can give it back to you."... *after* they had blown the damn thing up! :P

In place of the traditional little bride and groom on the wedding cake, I heartily recommend Han Solo and Princess Leia action figures/figurines/whatever - Leia in the traditional white dress, of course, and Han's vest is close enough to a tux :P
The (now ex-) wife and I had stumpy big-headed Han and Leia thingies on our cake at our wedding party - the marriage failed, but the cake looked wicked awesome!
