Smoke from widespread fires throughout Quebec have been causing a dimming of
sunlight and reduction of temperatures throughout the portions of the
Northeastern United States. These fires, previously attributed to
lightning, have been discovered to have been caused by deep fat fryers. The
reason for the increased usage of the fryers, and consequent increase of
flash fires, has been traced to a vast increase in demand for the french
fries used to make poutine. The demand for this regional delicacy spiked
after recent discussions on the Newtontalk internet mailing list.
Individuals connected with the Newtontalk list were unable to comment on
these allegations. Their mouths were full.
