Hi, I'm A News Reporter, Can You Help Me Tie My Shoe...
Is
it just me or are most TV Reporters dumb as rocks?
Here in Los Angeles I was watching the coverage of a local refinery fire.
One reporter stated, "Look at those flames, that heat is so intense,
it's like the temperature you get on the sun".
Hey, I'll give you the fact that the refinery fire was at about 2,000
degrees and that is HOT, but the same as the Sun????
Give me a break. If it were
as hot as the Sun, things would be vaporizing.
Like the fire fighters!. Just for the record:
The coolest parts of the Sun are at about 10 Million degrees (f).
The hottest is over 18 Million degrees (f).

out this site www.grc.com and look at a free
program they have called SheildsUp.
And
More Fire....
Got
a fire extinguisher or two around the place.
If not you should have. If
you do have one (or more), do you know how to use it? Sounds like a dumb question, but... When faced with the emergency of a fire a lot of folks
remember to grab the extinguisher. Unfortunately
they either don't know, or get panicky and forget to pull the pin, before
hitting the trigger. Also folks
tend not to know to stay back from the flames, or what part of the fire to aim
at. So do yourself a favor and
