Organic Bomb Discovery
The shrapnel is almost all cleaned up after the latest experiment in organic bombing. The discovery is not new but it is one that remains unique in its effectiveness for cleaning kitchens. Or microwave ovens on a smaller scale. The egg bomb that I eureka-ed was one of those accidental though messy break-throughs. The sound effect is akin to any small bomb, but the device itself, has entirely no impact on the environment. In fact, it could be beneficial. No chemicals that harm were employed. A simple pot with water and a bit of salt, although it had no practical purpose in this experiment, is all it takes. The elbow grease that ensues is a side effect and generally harmless except in arthritic joint victims. I discovered this new weapon as I was seated at my computer, innocently playing Hearts, when there was a loud explosion that seemed to emanate from the direction of the kitchen, some walls away. The sound was concussive and caused me to end my usual unsuccessful attempts to beat my electronic competitor, and investigate the explosion. The smell of something burning led me to what I suspected. The pot of boiling eggs had dried and overheating the shells of the four therein, blew up three. The evidence of the blast did not reveal which egg went where, as the flotsam was varied and most of it in such small amounts that identification of the device remains undetected. The entire room was festooned with the after-effects and required the clean-up crew of one, to begin mop-up immediately. Literally everything in the entire room including the ajacent dining area, was liberally covered with egg white and yellow. Most of it was dried and thus easily removed. There was no loss of life. The credit for the crime could only be the responsibility of one. It appeared to be the work of one individual. Me. What was surprising, is that the stainless steel fridge door that usually shows any and all evidence was completely unmarked. This was jolly good, for as we women all know, stainless steel fridge doors are the bane of our lives. The evidence is now all collected and distributed to the trash authority. It appears to be the work of a single mad widow.
