Last night we called 911 because 7 adults living in this building confirmed smelling gas.

and it turned out that the remaining 2 adults were harboring the remnants of a ripe durian in their trash.

A ladder and an engine came out. With a command vehicle! They took the durian with them when they left. Laughing.

@eniatitova I remember durian smelling awful, but it's been so long I couldn't say what kind of awful. Like a gas leak, I guess!

@jeridansky apparently it emits methyl mercaptan which is what they add to gas to give it that distinctive odor. So we were not insane, and not the first ones to report it as a gas leak. happens all the time all over the world.

@eniatitova @jeridansky do they add the same stuff to gas the world over? I sort of hoped that gas smelt differently in different countries

@RobertoArchimboldi @jeridansky I haven’t done a survey but having lived and used gas in several countries all over the world, my answer is yes.
