Fire in the disco! Or just outside the computer lab.

[MooglyGuy]

Here's a rundown of the past ten minutes in this computer lab:

Person A: "What's that smell? Smells kinda smokey:"
Person B, pushing the curtain aside and looking out: "Huh, the bushes are on fire."
Persons A, C, D, scrambling to look out the window: "THE BUSHES ARE ON FIRE!?"
Persons A, B, C, D, E, me, and everyone else run out of the building, tugging the fire alarm on the way out, which doesn't work.
Persons A, B, C, D, E, me, everyone else in the lab, around 30 bystanders and around 30 more people from neighboring buildings watch as the sysadmin and a couple professors douse the flaming row of bushes with as many fire extinguishers as they can get their hands on.
Five minutes after the blaze, persons A, B, C, D, E, me, and some of the people from the lab go back in and return to their computers.

similar thing happened with me. I got up to strech my legs from doing lab work. As I look out the window I see a car on fire in the parking lot. I tell everyone and we all stand at the window watching it burn untill the fire department gets there. Kind of felt bad for the person who owned the white truck parked next to it.

Kind of reminds me of a time when a bomb threat was phoned in back when I was in high school... the threat was phoned in around 11:00 o'clock in the morning. However, the principal and vice principals refused to end the school day (or couldn't get it authorized by the school board or superintendent or however they do that), and we sat there until about 1:30 in the afternoon before they finally pulled the fire alarm and sent all the kids and staff outside for a half-hour until the busses got there.

The bad news? We COULD have all been killed if it was a real threat. The good news? It wasn't a real threat. The semi-decent news? We only got to leave 15 minutes early when we should have actually been out of the school three hours before that.
