Is silicone flammable?

Posted February 2, 2006 at 2:57 PM by RunnerGirl in News

Here’s a recent blurb from the Bee with the information they’re likely leaving out included:

Two Sacramento Hooters restaurants received bomb threats in letters sent via the U.S. Postal Service last week, Sacramento Police Sgt. Terrell Marshall said.


Each letter was scented with what CSI determined to be ‘Winter Candy Apple’ body spray from Bath & Body Works, and the envelopes were also stained with MAC lip gloss, so officials have narrowed down suspects to a member of the Hooters wait staff. While text from the threats have not been released, sources say the threats are in response to the stringent rules required of Hooters staff.

On Jan. 26, the Hooters at 1785 Challenge Way in the Arden area received a threat to blow up the restaurant. The following day, the Hooters at 3341 Truxel Road in Natomas received the same threat in the same handwriting, Marshall said.

Identifying the handwriting will be more of a challenge than originally anticipated, as writing samples gathered from each member of the wait staff all carried the same characteristic of the letter ‘i’ dotted with a small heart.

Good stuff on the “missing” information, runnergirl.

Considering it was from the same dude that commented on the homeless problem I had to take a closer look. The heart dotted ‘i’ was my favorite.

Is Hooters really that bad? I’ve never been, but it appears from the outside (literally) to be more about what people “think” is going on there than what actually “is” going on there.

I resemble that remark.

Oh and by the way.

MEOOWWW!

Don’t hate the Hooter girls because they are marginally attractive.

Don’t worry, I’ll suss out the culinary black hole that is “Hooters”.

D’oh? Now I know how Adamant feels when I play spelling or grammar cop to his prose.

Here’s the definition from webster.com, and this is what I meant, too:

Main Entry: flam�ma�ble
Pronunciation: ‘fla-m&-b&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin flammare to flame, set on fire, from flamma
: capable of being easily ignited and of burning quickly
- flammable noun
