Never, Never Spit Gasoline While Smoking

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GERMANY_DRINKING_GASOLINE?SITE=VARIT&SECTION=STRANGE&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2008-01-14-16-18-11

BERLIN (AP) -- A German man in the northeastern town of Gross Godems was being treated for serious burns Monday after accidentally setting his apartment ablaze when he mixed up a bottle of gasoline with alcohol, police said.

The 56-year-old apparently grabbed the wrong bottle and took a swig from the gasoline flask, then spat it out when he realized his mistake.

The gas hit a lit cigarette, sparking the fire, police said.

The man's name was not released.

1. Hey you nanny-state liberals! Quit trying to control peoples' lives. He has the right to firearms

And, as in this case, fire face.

2. Better yet: Don't drink the damn gasoline!

I wonder if this idiot thought something smelled odd upon picking up the glass.

4. Thankfully, it did not set off the blasting caps nor ignite the oily rags

he most certainly had piled up in front of his fireplace.

I'm glad you did, and I'm regretting my decision.

9. Darwin Award Candidate.....

if he doesn't have kids, well at least an honourable mention. Proving once again-the gene pool is just as shallow there as here.
