Man vs. Outhouse

Given the type of low-lifes we are here at The Horadrim, I'm pretty sure all of us are familiar with the "Darwin Awards", given semi-annually to those members of the human species who attempt, and are usually succesful, at removing themselve from the gene pool. When I read this story I thought of several members of our happy little blog who've commented on their bathroom issues before. I trust I don't need to name them right?* Anyway:

(13 July 2004, West Virginia) An unidentified man in Blacksville, while relaxing in a portable outhouse, decided that it would be even more relaxing to light up a cigarette, inadvertently demonstrating another reason to give up the life-shortening habit. According to a spokeswoman for the ambulance, the methane in the porta-potty “didn't take too kindly” to the lit cigarette and exploded in a fireball. The man, whose identity was withheld “due to privacy policies,” was able to drive himself to the Clay-Battelle Health Center on the Mason-Dixon Highway. At that point, an ambulance was called in to transfer this difficult case to Ruby Memorial Hospital. The man's life was not in danger, but health care workers declined to reveal whether the man's injuries were serious enough to remove his contribution to the gene pool.

I would pay good money for video of that.
