SEATTLE – At Seattle City Hall there are rules.
No weapons, no animals, no loitering, no alcohol, no lying down, no smoking, no music, no fighting, no trespassing.
Could the next thing be no microwave popcorn?

The City Facilities Department has just issued a memo to all City employees.
SUBJECT: Burnt microwave popcorn.
The Justice Center has been evacuated eight times in three years, forcing the evacuation of more than 400 people. If the problem continues, it will result in a ban of all microwave popcorn.
The article is actually quite a hilarious and some real city hall stupidity.

Even if you don’t burn it, that smell can kill you.
At the church we used to go to they had to do the same thing. Every time somebody popped popcorn it set off the fire alarm and the fire department would have to come out to turn it off. The church got tired of having to pay the bill every time the fire department came out for what amounted to a false alarm, so they banned microwave popcorn.
Were it me making the decision I would have just moved the microwave.
