I have built a straw bale house and it is awesome.
I once saw a forest fire that wiped out a bunch of homes. I volunteered to help evacuate people from their homes in California when they had these huge fires there. When we went back and saw all those homes burned to the ground, the only one left standing was the straw bale house. The fire had burned the roof but all the walls we intact and none of the straw burned inside.
The band called The Grateful Dead were the one's who paid to have all the fire and stress tests done so that a straw bale building could pass the building code in California. It passed all the load tests, strength tests, sheer tests, and fire tests, and the results were 3-5 times better than a conventional building is required to have.
Haha wow! I'll admit, I'm a bit skeptical since I'm new here and that's quite an amazing story, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's true. Thanks for the vote and for even taking the time to read it!
