Leslie's Omnibus

Blithely rolling off the email trail and onto the information highway. (And it's a very short stumble from "blithe" to "blithering.")

Filler 'Er Up

Don't try this at home:
The 27-year-old woman "was filling up a gas can, which was sitting on the passenger seat of the car. [She] then used a lighter to . . . observe how full the can was," police said.

The flame ignited the gas, and the can exploded, setting the car's interior aflame.

Apparently afraid that the fire would spread to the gas pump she had been using, the woman began to push the burning car.

The car was about five feet from the gas pumps and engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.
Sheesh. Fourteen dozen Darwin Awards points in there somewhere...
