RE: Noisy seeds

NO they were not in a bag. The pods were on my buffet in the dining room.
They really didn't fly too far. About 1/2 way across the room-and my dining
room is tiny. I'm glad, because that's how I knew what it was. I saw the
seed lying on the floor and thought, "what in the heck is that?"

I hope they were exploding inside a paper bag.  If not, how far do the seeds

fly?
