A Shot In Her Head?

My parents Emailed me this bizarre story. Is it true?? It was dated 2/10/09.

Linda Burnett , 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket 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 had 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."

Bone Marrow Poppers

I found this interesting photo and food item on GOTHAMIST.COM. From GOTHAMIST quote-
"On the plate: Bone Marrow Poppers, pastry shell, greens, Bordelaise. $12 ".Chef Julia Jaksic, of Employees Only says: “I love bone marrow. My dad’s a butcher, so I grew up with meat and a lot of meat-related things. When I first started here at Employees Only the owners were like, look, we want heavy food because we make strong drinks. And my approach to food is a certain way already—I come from an Eastern European background, so that influence is on my menu. Read the whole story at GOTHAMIST.COM here...
