Fighting fires, and such

Posted on March 24th, 2006 Mitch Milam  Print No comments

I learned several important things this morning that I felt I should share with the world at large.  Listed in no particular order:

1. A $25 microwave doesn't understand that "Reheat" for a Cinnamon Roll means 20 seconds, not 20 minutes.
2. Sugar burns.
3. Burning sugar produces yellow smoke.
4. I don't know if yellow sugar smoke is toxic, but it stinks like heck.
5. You can't make smoke disappear by spraying "room freshener," so don't try.  Imagine burnt sugar and a burning hospital, and you'll get a visual on the smell.
6. The fire alarms on the 9th floor of a certain gold-plated building in North Dallas do not consider burning sugar to be a threat.
7. The fire department will not show up unless a fire alarm goes off.
8. Burning sugar smells.
