Dick, I think you would like the fact my fire extinguisher service man had to adhere "Non-flammable" stickers to my fire extinguisher the other day, he said it was a new regulation. I can only hope their contents non-flammable.

I too had to look up Isador Duncan.... ...you learn something new everyday
A few years back I investigated a fatality where a forklift driver paid homage to Isador while driving a forklift with a nylon sling thrown over his shoulder ( I don't do that job anymore)

For those of you who are as lost as I was, here is what the wiki article says:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isadora_Duncan
Duncan often wore scarves which trailed behind her, and this caused her death in an freak accident in Nice, France. She was killed at the age of 50 when her scarf caught in the open-spoked wheel of her friend Benoît Falchetto's automobile, in which she was a passenger. (The marque of the automobile is disputed: though the general concensus is that it was an Amilcar, some still believe it was a Bugatti.) As the driver sped off, the long cloth wrapped around the vehicle's axle. Duncan was yanked violently from the car and dragged for several yards before the driver realized what had happened. She died almost instantly from a broken neck. The tragedy gave rise to Gertrude Stein's mordant remark that "affectations can be dangerous."
