Jelly triggers German security alert 9:49 AM October 10
A small pile of leftover jelly discarded beside the road after a wedding party caused a large-scale security alert in Germany with biochemical experts, firemen and police called in to investigate.
"Passers-by called police after finding a pool of a flabby red, orange and green substance on the roadside," a police spokesman in the eastern town of Halle said.
Fears of toxic waste led to the closure of a wide area after the emergency call on Sunday, and experts wearing chemical warfare suits spent two hours examining the gelatinous substance before deciding that it was jelly. "The fire brigade always has to assume a worst-case scenario," a spokesman said.
"We conducted a variety of tests and figured out it was jelly."
He says the newly-wed groom, who was pulled out of bed at noon following a tip-off, confirmed that the jelly, known as Jell-O in the United States, was a party leftover and agreed to clean it up.

After reading this,a person could easily conclude that the German cops couldn't organize a two car funeral.
