Tofu Explosion
OregonLive.com 11/20/11 Paul Corah, a spokesman for the Portland Fire Bureau, said investigators were baffled at first when a woman cooking tofu in her Northwest Portland apartment Sunday night caused an explosion that blew out a 4-by-6 foot picture window and caused an estimated $15,000 in damage. The woman suffered a small burn to her hand but was otherwise unhurt. After consultation with other investigators up and down the West Coast, Corah said, it appears grease in a pan used to cook the tofu overheated and caught fire. When the woman put the fiery pan in the sink to douse it, the water caused “a sudden and extreme flare-up of flaming oil” and a “massive steam production.” . |

Now, Homeland Security can ban tofu as a terrorist weapon.

Woa! That article is worth the read.
The cannonball left the firing range, went through a wall, into a neighborhood, completely went through one house, damaged the roof in another, and smashed a van in the driveway of a third. The quote at the end from Adam Savage is perfect. "I can't talk right now. *click*" |

I want to know WTF those stairs were made of. The cannonball went up the stairs and still had enough energy to go through a door, a stucco wall, travel god knows how far before plowing into a van.
Why didn't the ball travel straight through the stair riser? They must have put some English on it. There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all - only awakening because of plaster dust. The ball wasn't done bouncing. It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several tiles from the roof of a home on Bellevue Circle and finally slammed into the Gill family's beige Toyota Sienna minivan in a driveway on Springvale Drive. somebody map the path on google.

Maybe it was rising as it went through the door, and never touched a step as it "raced up".

I want to know WTF the man, woman and child in the first house were on - it was 4.45 in the afternoon and they were asleep. Not just asleep, but so heavily asleep they missed a cannonball comig in the front door, up the stairs and exiting through a wall.
Anyone fancy robbing a house, I can recommend one on Cassata Place.

Watch this: through the front door, up the stairs, through the bedroom, up the street, through the van...nothing but net.
