This is why my hair dryer has a tag on it that says not to use it IN the shower.

When my daughter was 5 and noticed this on the hairdryer, she asked me how stupid people were. I told her to start looking at warnings, each one meant at least one person was injured or killed by the thing with the warning label. This would be funny if it weren't for all the now deceased stupid people.

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. ;)

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.

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

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..

I must be doing it wrong then. I spray it onto kleenex and apply the kleenex to my eyes. That seems to work pretty well. :D

ptrowski : Really? Cleaning cobwebs with a blowtorch? Natural selection should have taken care of this brainiac.

»www.cbs46.com/news/17919628/detail.html

SARGENT, Ga. -- A Coweta County man who set his house on fire while cleaning out cobwebs with a blowtorch won't be charged, Fire Chief Bill Haynes told CBS 46 Thursday afternoon.

Authorities said Galen Winchell set fire to his home on Smith Road in Sargent around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday as he cleaned cobwebs from exterior eaves with a blowtorch. Winchell noticed the blaze when he saw smoke pouring from the attic.

Haynes said the fire was contained to one part of the house, because the home had several layers of roofing. But haynes said the entire home suffered at least some smoke and water damage.

No one was hurt.
