LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A 47-year-old man's friends set his prosthetic leg on fire after he lost a drinking bet, causing him to suffer severe burns to his buttocks and lower back. Dona Ana County sheriff's deputies found the man naked on the side of U.S. Route 70 with his prosthetic leg in flames.

The man told investigators that at six beers, he drank the least, and agreed to let his friends set him on fire.

Build a man a fire and he stays warm for a day.
Set a man on fire and he stays warm for the rest of his life.

It would probably have done less damage if they had set his head on fire.
