Man Attacks Stain in Trousers...Destroys Apartment Mon Oct 13,10:36 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man may wish he had stuck with having dirty trousers after an imaginative attempt to purge a stubborn paint stain on them destroyed his apartment.
The unnamed Muscovite added a liter of petrol to his washing machine to help dissolve the stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday, but the ensuing explosion wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls.
Moscow police confirmed there had been an explosion in a south-eastern Moscow apartment, but would not comment on the cause.

Human stupidity universal and mind boggling...how human race survive and flourish beyond my understanding.

That is so kind of you. Really. Looking out for the health and well being of others.
One summer I temped at an insurance company. Some of the claims were unbelievable. Stupid things people will do. Smoking while spraying aerosol hair spray. Using gasoline to rid a child of lice. Lots of other moronic things. Boggles the mind.

They need to simplify basic chemistry courses for people. Less equations and formulae, more COMMON SENSE.

Clue to all you newlywed guys....Screw-up one load of laundry with one of your wife's favorite items, and she will restrict you from doing laundry for life! Bonus Free Clue: Same thing hold true in the kitchen as well. Substitute salt for sugar in a cake or microwave the potatoes three times as long as the recipe calls for, and you're on Easy Street!

My parents faced the same difficulty.
When my father was a bachelor, he learned to cook extremely well. He shared a house with six other young men, and he decided that he would rather cook than clean up. HE cooked for all seven, they all shared the cleanup chores.
My mother (bless her heart) cannot cook. She could burn water. She can't toast bread or fry an egg without setting off the smoke alarm.
Luckily, my father just kept right on cooking, and mother took over the cleanup chores.
Thankfully, my father taught ME to cook.

Can't say that I blame him. I bet Bill Clinton wishes he would have done more to remove that stain from Monica's dress...Freepers are slipping. It took 14 posts before the first mention of Clinton.

All women may not read beyond this point ..Men Only! Aw, c'mon, give us ladies a little credit here. We all know the ol' Screw Up the Laundry trick. You guys have been doing that as long as there have been washing machines.

I just couldn't stop laughing, still can't. Where do these people COME from, anyway?
Also, can't you just visualise a BBC newsreader reading the second paragraph with that inimitable deadpan that makes the listener occasionally do sort of an audio double-take?
''...The ensuing explosion...'' (chortle -- most natural thing in the world, right?)

Common sense? Well, maybe. Not so common, these days, eh?
More actual, surreal-life demonstrations such as this yokel performed would definitely help!

Many years ago Mom washed my brother's jockstrap (for P.E. class) with my little sister's new red coat.
Brother was NOT amused with having a PINK jock.
