The fire department’s hazardous materials teams investigated this morning a report of an unidentified white powder mailed to the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Mail room employees discovered the substance at about 9 a.m. in a pre-addressed envelope mailed to the network’s office on Centerville Turnpike, said John Turver, vice president of marketing for the network.

Officials evacuated and closed the building as a precaution and sent a sample of the substance to a state lab in Richmond for analysis, Turver said.

Preliminary tests ruled out botulism, ricin and anthrax, and final results identified the powder as whey protein, a supplement used in bodybuilding, said Battalion Chief Tim Riley, a spokesman for the fire department.

Four employees were exposed to the powder and reported rashes, but no other symptoms, Turver said. Paramedics were monitoring the employees, who will be decontaminated and sent to the hospital for further tests, Riley said.

The network's office remained closed this afternoon, but will likely reopen Thursday morning, Turver said.

::) Oh brother. Like the guy who acts drunk at the party after some O'Douls only to be told later it's nonalcoholic.

Recently we had a rat running through our air vents above the office. We got an exterminator guy to come in and kill it. He couldnt find the rat but left something that would gas it and kill it.

One of the old office ladys was complaining the next day that she felt sick from the gas stuff. none of us could smell anything but the bitch wouldnt shut up. she ends up going home sick and we get the exterminator guy to come in and sort out the gas thing. he looks at it and says "ooops, I didnt even switch it on." LOL stupid office bitch!!

 The true secret behind the supplement industry's gimmicky advertisements. It is the TRAINING that causes the muscles to grow but when you happen to be using some kind of protein powder or some worthless N.O. pump shit the newb thinks it is because of the product.


 Notice the POWER of SUGGESTION, here? Rashes? A month ago when swine flu got all the press everybody who sneezed after putting pepper on their eggs in the morning rushed to the nearest ER with the thoughts of contracting the swine flu.

a big part is today's media, they make you afraid of all sorts of shit. I wonder when the first bakeries have to close down because people assume the flour could be anthrax.  ::)
