Cereal Killer?

Post by sd790 »

This is a new one...

Suspect allegedly shot man with shotgun shell filled with cereal

From the article:
Investigation reveals that Glass fired a flare gun loaded with a shotgun shell filled with Rice Krispies, according to detectives.

Maybe we should change the rules at Fun-n-Gun for next year. :lol:

I guess Rice Krispies are easier to get than a gun, in at least one instance.

That used to be done at the Quaker facility in Akron. The rice or wheat grains were placed in a pressure vessel raised to a high pressure with air then release very quickly causing the grains to puff up like popcorn (sort of)
The puffed grain was transported to the canal underground by way of a steel tube and high air flow.
Basically the puffed cereal was blown down the pipe. The flowing grain eventually eroded the ~2" thick tube walls and there was a cereal "volcano" on Main St. in Akron.
When Quaker Square was a shopping mall and Hilton Hotel there was a photo of the volcano on display.
That Hilton was, supposedly, the only hotel with round rooms.
The converted grain silos are now Akron U. dormitory rooms.

Alan:

Back when Quaker Square was somewhat new, the wife and I used to visit occasionally. It's about 60 miles from me....

Even had Becka with us once. She got a kick out of the locomotives parked there.

Next visit (Becka was with Sherri's parents, I think), the only thing left was a somewhat grungy diner-like thing. I don't know if the "mall" still existed and was just closed, or what. The bigger restaurant (not bad, btw) was in use for a private party. I'm not sure if it otherwise was available. The "diner" wasn't bad, but....

Next time, on the way home from Columbus, we took a chance and drove past. Dead.... (I'm not sure about the UofA dorms.)

I really miss that place, though. Bought a whole mess of stuff, too :D.... (They had a nice jewelry store :mrgreen: . Unfortunately, Sherri found it.)

There was a similar facility in Greenville SC. No idea whether it's still there. At our last visit, they had a lot of "Spice of Life" pottery. Turned out to cost the same here, and I paid a ton in fuel to haul it here, but the secondary pieces - butter dish, for example, were cheaper there. Since I had to drive past a sort of strip mall in Spartanburg (somewhat regularly), I used to stop there for "fill in" pieces. Two or three times a year.

Regards,
Stu.
