Tapioca Time Bomb
Last night I was searching for recipes that contain Tapioca. I found myself on snopes.com (a site for debunking urban legends, for the most part) reading a story they have validated as true.
A ship in 1972 nearly exploded when the tapioca in its hold got wet and started cooking from a fire being fought on the floor above. It is pretty funny in hindsight. I was in need of a chuckle, maybe you are, too.
The story can be found on Snopes.

Now, I was thinking of asking Oscar to pick up some tapioca and coconut milk at Hillers today… Now I’ll be certain to. I love a little danger with my dessert :-}
