Darwin Award Candidate: Dennis Cohen, 47, had a problem with his
stove, so he decided to fix it himself. He disconnected the gas pipe --
without turning off the gas first -- then went to the bathroom. When he
returned, he was pondering the situation when he decided to light a
cigarette. The resulting explosion destroyed 10 apartments in his 130-
unit complex in Encino, Calif., and left Cohen with second- and
third-degree burns over 60 percent of his body. Fire investigators were
disappointed that Cohen died before they could interview him a second
time to get more details. (Los Angeles Times) ...Such as the answer to
their most pressing question, "What are you, some kind of idiot?"
