Tossing this out there:

1. Being baked: what comes to mind are what happened at the American and Canadian embassies in Cuba.

1. drop water: But then, something being baked is "on fire"? Drop water?

1. dumb sob: DUMB's, being baked, high temperatures, dropping water into them?

1. Some of them are not even in from this nation: happening to foreign DUMB's? What comes to mind as an example, is the recent large earthquake in NZ. What happened to those DUMBs? Also what comes to mind, is the recent "woke" volcano in CHY-NA. Mercer, silk traders, CHY-NA?
