WARNING Rocks are known to the State of California to cause burns :tongue3:

The rocks are small, smooth, and orange and green in color. They eventually fell from the shorts onto the wooden floor where they continued to burn and fill the house with smoke, Stone said.
The woman tried to stop, drop and roll but couldn't extinguish the flames, Stone said.

She must have stuck an alien in her pants, & he got Hot under the Collar :laughing7:

Now she will bring a law suit against the county because the rocks caused the burns to her. Just another way to make a quick buck.

yea I Wonder what she really had in her pocket she neglected to tell them about.

Perhaps a pack of Matches & the friction of the rocks caused it to light ?

a 9 Volt Battery, coins & a Bic Lighter ?

I've been burned by one of these

loaded with AA's & a Quarter in my Pocket
but it didn't burst in flames.

Jeff, I guess that's the new "Hot Pockets' :tongue3:

Just be careful because 'Hot Pockets' is a brand name and they will also sue in a heartbeat :laughing7:

If I Knew her, she would definitely get allot of
"Hot Pants" comments from me.


Update :

The beach where the rocks were found is near the Camp Pendleton Marine base,
so My guess somehow they are responsible

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Beach rocks that caused a California woman's shorts to catch fire and severely burn her legs and hands appeared to be coated with phosphorus, but it was unclear how the flammable chemical got onto the stones found near a military base, authorities said Thursday.

What they failed to mention in the article is that San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant is also located there. :unhappysmiley:

it is in the follow-up article, But I Personally let that out of my comment
because I Believe Nuclear energy is safer then Military opps, & less likely
to be responsible
