5/18    "Rotten office fridge cleanup sends 7 to hospital"
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_rotten_office_food
        Anyone here works there?
        \_ Sounds like someone did something dumb like mix bleach
           and ammonia.  But that isn't as good of a headline.

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_rotten_office_foodFirefighters had to evacuate the AT&T building in downtown San Jose on Tuesday, after the flagrant fumes prompted someone to call 911. What they found was an unplugged refrigerator that had been crammed with moldy food. Authorities said an enterprising office worker had decided to clean it out, placing the food in a conference room while using two cleaning chemicals to scrub down the mess. The mixture of old lunches and disinfectant caused 28 people to need treatment for vomiting and nausea. Authorities said the worker who cleaned the fridge didn't need treatment -- she can't smell because of allergies.
