FYI: popcorn can catch on fire

So Chris Anna & I got to learn a roommate lesson - popcorn catches on fire if you microwave it for 3 minutes instead of 1 minute. . .we will be reminded for a few days when the stentch of smoke/burnt popcorn finally leaves the house. All is well though. . .except that my stupid smoke alarm (which has been super-sensitive in the past when I burn stuff in the oven) never went off. . .man, I feel safe - I'd go check the batteries, but CA is asleep - I'll do that tomorrow.
