I'll Bet The Aggies Are Laughing Already

Burnt popcorn prompts evacuation at UT dorm - KHOU Weird World Blog: "An entire campus dormitory was evacuated overnight Thursday after residents reported a strong odor wafting from the fourth floor.

They were unable to identify the smell, so emergency officials evacuated all 200 people inside as hazmat crews investigated, KVUE-TV reports.

That's when they discovered the devious -- but delicious -- culprit.

But it gets even better. About 45 people complained of respiratory problems as a result of the popcorn smell."

Almost as bad as the time the put the University of Saskatchewan on lock-down after someone was seen carrying a "gun" on campus. Turns out the "gun" was the post of the guy's bicycle seat. He'd taken it off to keep the bike from being stolen. and was carrying it with him.
