Re: Blatantly stupid people.
Im sure he caught something else on fire while clearing the webs. Maybe through a vent into the attic or something
Prolyl used one of these »www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/red_dragon.jpg

Nah, it wasn't the blowtorch that set the fire it was a retaliation by the garden spiders rising up to avenge their toasted eaves brothers. This is why we need to put caps on our interwebs and ban porn: to prevent terrorism and to save the children. |

said by Tzale :said by snipper_cr :Hmm, that's interesting. I was always under the impression that cobwebs were generally NOT flammable. Not that Ive used a blow torch to clean them out, but for one reason or another I remember lighting one on fire around a camp fire one. It just sorta shriveled and powdered and then disappeared. There is not much there to burn due to their light nature so it seems hard they would burn long enough to light a house on fire. The house went on fire from the blowtorch heating up the exterior of the house.... Not from a cobweb catching fire... If you're not careful, a blowtorch can set your house on fire if you use it incorrectly when welding a pipe joint together in a wall for example.. -Tzale Okay, that makes sense. Then yes, a Darwin Award may be in order. I guess using a blow torch to clear cob webs is sort of like taking an elephant gun mouse hunting... it works but just is way too much |

Be honest though, how many of you have tossed lighter fluid on an already lit fire or charcoal to help it along? Come on, admit it  |

Lighter fluid is for pussies, everybody knows a real man uses gasoline.

If I could get it at the gas station I would definitely try it but I doubt it's available locally . . . most likely a mail order item . . .

Why go the slow route when you know damn well some one out there on the internet has it for sale some where.
No matter what it is, some one on will sell it to you over the internet.

Hey, I lived in Ozark for 2.5 years
And you're right, they become management and hire only those who are as stupid as they are

I am sure it's available if cost is no problem but I thought the thesis of this thread was candidate eligibility for the Darwin Award not regional availability of semi controlled substances.

Put some gas in a coffee can. Start adding styrofoam peanuts into it. The dissolve in the gas, and if you use enough of them you get a highly flammable goo. |

Sounds like the guy could be married to a woman we had at work. Who I've seen run out of room on the mouse pad ,using a rollerball mouse, decide the only way to get the pointer to the right spot on the screen is to move the crt monitor. Needless to say I was stunned. |

Yup. They're all over out there. Guy in my area was killed (in front of his family no less) when he attempted to "salvage" distribution power lines that were currently in use. 
Good thing is, at least he can't procreate anymore and perhaps his wife and kids won't be as stupid as he is in the future. . . 
Sorry if that sounds heartless but damn I'm tired of dealing with the problems caused by incredibly stupid people.

said by Sweet Witch :This is why my hair dryer has a tag on it that says not to use it IN the shower And for those too stupid to read, it's also the reason your hair dryer most likely has a GFCI device right on the plug. To protect those who won't let a little tag get in their way of self-elimination.
I once heard a comedian in his routine talk about buying a superman cape as part of a costume. He said it had a tag sewn in that said "Warning: this article will not allow wearer to fly". He responded by saying he figured anyone stupid enough to think a cape would make them fly wouldn't let a little paper tag stop them from trying.
