Remember Dave, to quite a few folks here "biscuits" are what we call cookies.

You realize this is a urban myth, right? Funny though.

urban myth

OH No Roger, you mean everything I read on the web isn't true?
That my emails are filled with shams?
Oh, the inhumanity of it all!
Next you'll dash my dreams of Bill Gates sending me a dollar for every email I forward, and that if I forward this email to all me friends angels will suddenly dance across my screen, and I'll happily marry the woman of my nightmares?

Actually, this myth was replicated during the first season of the Discovery Channel's hit series "Mythbusters". They were able to get the biscuits to explode inside a hot car.

The myth was debunked during the second pilot for the show.

Thanks Robin,
My faith in the Dough Boy has been restored.

You beat me to it sabot. I watch mythbusters all the time I dont think I have missed one episode.

A SWMBO who thought she had a brain?

Remember--- they walk amongst us.

They do exist, albeit in very rare cases...
