This is an actual AP story

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws in Los Angeles and, while there, went to a nearby superma rket to pick up some groceries.

Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.

One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.

When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.

A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.

When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the ! dough and thought it was her brains.

She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.

they tested this on Mythbusters with five leading brands of biscuits (e.g. flaky vs. buttermilk). they said it was very unlikely, because you'd have to be sitting in a car that was so incredibly hot for so long that the least of your worries would be an exploding canister. you'd faint from heat stroke before it would break.

i could definitely see someone holding a wet biscuit to their head thinking their brains were coming out. i would probably laugh and laugh if that happened.
