The Register-Guard reports Daniel Rowlett is seeking $13 million. He says Walmart sold him a plastic can produced by Blitz USA that exploded as he poured fuel into a burn barrel in October 2013. He suffered burns over nearly half his body.

If he burned off his p*nis in the process doesn't that make at least a finalist? Maybe even first runner-up.
One time I pulled up to the gas pumps at a gas station only to look over and see a Darwin contender leaning down pumping gas into a 5 gal. can while smoking a cigarette. I hadn’t turned off the car yet so I put it back in drive and drove to another gas station.
LOL, I’m sorry for your loss.
I have a burn ring in my backyard. How do I light it? A double handful of Match Lite charcoal.
More “pussification” of the male gender at work. My old dad taught me the difference between gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid, and diesel fuel. He explained how to store and handle each and the precautions to take when using them. He always preached “Safety First”.
Never forget, fathers and father figures are important in the lives of young men. Mom never knew the first thing about these subjects, nor did we care, because dad had taught us the manly art of starting a fire safely without burning down the neighborhood.
No, just removing your capability to procreate will do it. If'n your stupidity removes/injures your meat and two veg, and you can't use 'em anymore to procreate, you qualify.
Where's the fun in that?
Don’t forget to sue the flip-flop manufacturer..Clearly they were complicit...And the importer that brought the defective footwear into the US...
Best summation so far, Sir! IMHO...
Are you seriously?
Algonquin J. Calhoun, Esq. will leave no tern unstoned.
Yeah right. I didn't see any money on gofundme for the funeral expenses.
Uh, the check is in the mail. ;^)
I use the firm of Duwee, Cheatem and Howe myself...
Never let me down yet...
Aren’t you supposed to pour the gas BEFORE you light the fire? And what prevents things from going ka-boom in the barrel if you light gasoline-soaked fuel in a barrel?
I weep for your deprived childhood! Did you not practice the flaming arrow thing? Goes KABOOM, you are 25 yards up wind .... hopefully. Jolly fun.
My epic trick one dark and stormy night: pouring gasoline ... rather a lot ... into a ancient hollow walnut tree infested with giant green hornets. Stepping off a few yards, I launched ye olde flaming arrow. You wanna talk KABOOM? Suddenly the night sky was filled with flaming kamikazi hornets making for the cedar-shingled house and barn roofs. Spectacular, really. Bloody tree burned for days, as did my posterior. Blaming it on my sister did not work.
She may be suing me for defamation, but since this happened in '57, Algonquin J. Calhoun, Esq., my infallible guide in all things legal, has advised me to forget about it.
