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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
