What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: UPI.
Kenji MoonfieldA highway in Utah saw a semi truck fully loaded with french fries go up in flames tonight.
Dr. Nina ByteFirefighters and a sheriff's deputy rushed to the scene. That is the whole report, and I'm sorry to say that is the whole report.
Kenji MoonfieldSo the highway became a deep fryer, and the deputy is basically the guy yelling order up.
Dr. Nina ByteA fryer needs oil and a controlled temperature. This had a road.
Dr. Nina ByteIf it helps, I'd put it at about one delis' worth of electricity, if the fries were plugged in.
Kenji MoonfieldThat math is wrong.
Dr. Nina ByteIt's on the list.
Kenji MoonfieldLater this half hour, we find out what one famous LA deli's power bill looks like. But first, were the fries at least salted?
Dr. Nina ByteNobody got there in time to check.
