Good lord.... I thought you were going to say that you ATE a microwaved burger. That's awful, but yeah... it *could* have been much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Dwight Schrute: I have a song. Attention, everyone! That I want to sing. That I wrote especially for this occasion when I was up there among the flames. Ready? [sings to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"] Ryan started the fire! It was always burning since the world's been turning! Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott: [singing] Ryan started the fire! It was always burning--- Dwight Schrute: Everybody! Michael Scott: [singing] ...since the world was turning. Ryan Howard: I can't believe I started the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man.....time to call it a day. Jokes aside, what caused the bag to catch fire ? 35 seconds seems harmless enough but what caused the contents to heat up so much so fast ?

I'd kill for an office security camera tape of that! Glad you're ok. I used to work at a hospital and one day one of the pharmacists, a brilliant guy but an absent minded professor type, puts a bagel in the microwave and puts it on for sixty minutes instead of 60 seconds and returns to his desk to work and forgets about it until smoke starts pouring out of the microwave!!! There was so much smoke security came down to check on the situation! Link? Jokes aside, what caused the bag to catch fire ? 35 seconds seems harmless enough but what caused the contents to heat up so much so fast ? Hamburger grease!

John from Riverside Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 It was a tinfoil bag? No but after looking through the remains on the hallway floor there was one of those little bags of catchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
