I like think this could only happen in America, but theinquirer.net reports a computer gamer has been arrested and could be facing 15 years in prision. Of course you are now thinking what on earth could your average gamer do to warrant a possible 15 years sentence? Heres a quote:

Anthony Jones was playing Grand Theft Auto with a child and decided to call a mate in a local restaurant.
After the friend answered Jones got to a crucial bit in the game, got a bit excited and uttered the words "There's a bomb in the building. There's a bomb in the building. Everyone needs to get out!" and hung up to continue the game.
A worker heard the warning, considered it a serious threat and became scared and called the police. The restaurant was evacuated and searched for explosives.
Police were able to use a call-return feature to determine where the call had been placed. The house belonged to a friend of Jones, who said Jones had been playing the video game and had used his phone.
