Stored Bullets Explode in Wis. Oven
15 minutes ago Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo!

HOWARD, Wis. - A man and his wife ducked behind a refrigerator when bullets began exploding in their oven, authorities say.

Capt. Craig Kohlbeck of the Brown County Sheriff's Department said the husband had put the ammunition and three handguns in the oven before the couple left on a vacation.

He told officers he thought the items would be safe there in case someone broke into the home while they were away.

After returning from their trip Tuesday, the wife turned on the oven to prepare dinner and the bullets ignited, Kohlbeck said

What idiots.

Everyone knows you're supposed to keep the ammo in the microwave.

There's something fishy about this story. Can a household oven really get hot enough to cause ammo to cook off?

I did not know that there were hillbillies in Wisconsin. I thought they all lived here in the South.
