Jell-O sparks toxic waste scare

Oct. 10, 2006. 01:00 AM

BERLIN—A small pile of leftover Jell-O discarded after a wedding party caused a large-scale security alert in Germany, with biochemical experts, firemen and police called in to investigate.

"Passersby called police after finding a pool of a flabby red, orange and green substance on the roadside," a police spokesman in the eastern town of Halle told Reuters yesterday.

Fears of toxic waste led to the closure of a wide area after the emergency call on Sunday, and experts wearing chemical warfare suits spent two hours examining the gelatinous substance before deciding it was ... Jell-O.

He said the newlywed groom, who was pulled out of bed at noon following a tip-off, confirmed the Jell-O was a party leftover — and agreed to clean it up.

2. I was in Germany when the Anthrax Scare of 2001 was on.

My fiance's college had an anthrax scare in the gymnasium (sigh -->) someone thought that chalk near the gymnastics area was anthrax. It could have been but things like that happened all the time. From sugar to flour - anything white and powdery was investigated.
