More antics of the incredibly stupid:
quote:
Police said a man playing with commercial-grade fireworks caused an explosion that gutted his home and seriously injured himself and a friend.
quote:
Police said Steven Glenn lit a 10-inch diameter commercial-grade firework, the type used for professional fireworks shows, NBC5's Lisa Tutman reported. That type of firework is illegal for Illinois residents to have in their possession.
"He lit a fuse and thought he could put it out. The fuse at that time, apparently he says about three seconds, went off -- exploded.
What could possibly make someone think that lighting a 10 inch firework indoors was a good idea?
quote:
Police said Glenn admitted drinking 10 beers before the incident
Oh, that explains it.

It makes no difference how much brew this turkey swilled, commercial pyrotechnic shells are not to be messed with, especally indoors. Indoors, ye gods! We'll be seeing him on the Darwin Awards one day. That much stupidity is not survivable, nor should it be.
