Fire Alarm

[Rediknight]

We just had a fire alarm go off at work and i just found out what caused it - The kitchen was cooking boiled cabbage...

HOW LONG do you have to cook BOILED cabbage for to set off a fire/smoke alarm????

Anyone with more time than sense feel like cooking up some cabbage and findin out for me?

Dunno about cabbage, but eggs take about 1 hour.

There´s an old lady living next door to my gf. She frequently throws some eggs into hot water (the old lady... not my gf), then happily goes off to bed. At least three times, people woke up because of some heavy smoke in the house and had to rescue her from a. choking to death and b. igniting the entire house.

The neighbours collected money, bought a fire alarm and installed it right next to her door now.

if all the water evaporates off then the cabbage/eggs are going to start to burn done it a couple of times with pasta.

I left eggs on once and they exploded after the pan had boiled dry. I didn't let it happen again cos it took to much celing cleaning.

Kid at my school chucked half a can of Sprite into a stir fry he was making in home-ec...

(Wok + hot oil + veg + Sprite = fire-fountain) + high density foam ceiling tiles = big burning melty stuff raining from the sky onto stir fry = D grade in Home Ec for Gavin haha!

Actually, Home-ec was a laugh a minute at my school - when we were done making the end of term food, we were told to wash everything up. One kid at Highams Park wasn't the brightest spark and the teacher hit the roof when she got to his sink full of foaming bubbles and hot water and found the kettle and toaster submerged in it Not plugged in, that would've been a pretty light show, but still...
