Vengeful mouse sets house ablaze

Well, I debated about where to put this one, that's for sure. I finally settled on the most obvious choice, 'Humor', because, well, a mouse burning down a house definitely qualifies! But more than that, I've been known to post tales of gross acts of stupidity here as well, and the homeowner in this case certainly qualifies for committing one of those.

What in the world was he doing burning leaves in New Mexico during a drought, when fires have been spreading throughout the west? Frankly, if the mouse had run off and started a forest fire, I'd be inclined to hold him criminally negligent for starting it.

A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
