  • Man Sets house on fire....

    ...trying to kill a spider using a lighter. I believe the headline speaks for itself on this one

    We obviously had a chat with the man but I don't think he'll be doing this again.
    What a glorious understatement!
    A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

        He could've just used a broom, shoe or bug spray to kill the spider. What a dolt.

          Spider: 1
          Man: 0

          Who wants to bet that the spider somehow survived?

            No bet.

            It's as bad as the woman who blew up her house trying to kill some cockroaches.

              my dumbass ex tried that. there was a spider on the ceiling in our kitchen, and he took a candle lighter, and tried to light the spider on fire. the spider ran into a crack, and there is a burn mark on the ceiling.....and when i yelled at him, he saw no problem in it....one of the numerous reasons im not longer with him.

                  Do they show reruns of "Home Improvement" over in the UK?

                  It might explain where the guy got the "inspiration" . . .

                    and i'm reminded of the mythbusters episode where they investigated the myth that you can blow up your house if you use a bug-bomb and have a spark in the house.

                    ... confirmed... hell in their experiment they blew the front door off of the experimental house. (without resorting to c4)

                      What the mythbusters did was the incident I mentioned.
