Seattle may ban microwave popcorn

This article reads like it was straight out of The Onion, but somehow it's true. Apparently microwave popcorn mishaps have caused enough evacuations from municipal buildings that Seattle is considering banning the snack altogether. I love the line "Popcorn is not the easiest thing to cook" and the use of the phrase "illicit popping." It's good to know that our best and brightest are getting things done and tackling the real issues in local government!
