GUN SHOT SURVIVOR

How's this for a gunshot survivor...

Linda Burnett , 23, a resident of San Diego , was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.

One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that LindaÂ¢s eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour. The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.
When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.

Linda is a blonde and a Democrat, and an Obama supporter, but that could be irrelevant.

Mythbusters investigated this one, the inside of the car had to hit greater than 140F in order for ""Poppin Fresh" to do his thing.

Nothing like a few facts to mess up a good story......

Mythbusters would be wrong on that statement in my opinion. I used to work for Safeway Grocery Store back in my high school days. I seen bisquits explode and get quite a bit of distance from the POE.

They fail to account for all variables such as in this case where they failed to measure the time the tube of dough had been unrefrigerated and the brand. The composition of the dough including sugar and yeast levels, length of exposure to warmth AND heat in the car as well as tube construction could all contribute to differences in ballistic performance.

Yeah, that one was funny even when I first heard it about 20 years ago...
