Teen Burned After Lighting Fire Near Gas
Teen Severely Burned After Lighting Fire While Allegedly Trying To Steal Gas

TWO RIVERS, Wis., Aug. 10, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AP) An 18-year-old man was severely burned Thursday after he lit a flame while trying to steal gasoline from a riding lawnmower. He and another 18-year-old man were in a Town of Two Rivers shed early Thursday, trying to extract the fuel from the mower.

At one point, they decided they needed more light, so one of them ignited burning materials, according to Manitowoc County Sheriff's Inspector Gregg Schetter. The gasoline then exploded, Schetter said.

One of the men was taken to a Milwaukee hospital with serious burns.

Authorities learned of the theft after responding to a 4 a.m. call Thursday of a shed on fire.

County sheriff's deputies and Two Rivers police officers eventually learned of the burned man and connected the clues, Schetter said.

The other man wasn't injured. He was being held in the Manitowoc County Jail, Schetter said.

This is the sort of stuff that happens when you replace good wholesome Saturday morning cartoons with that Japanamation crap that seems to be all the rage these days.

Slag, you are so right. The Coyote and the Roadrunner had all of those accidents for us. They taught us all about what could happen with TNT, anvils, parachutes, cliffs, bungee jumping,saws that come up thru the floor and so many other things. We all know to avoid Acme brand anything. If we forgot about the Coyote and Roadrunner, Johnny Knoxville reminded us a little later in life. Too bad for kids today. I wonder if the guy that went to the hospital ended up with that scorched look like the Coyote?

He'll communicate through sign boards for the rest of his life.

I'm thinking this is what the guy ended up looking like

I think he was just trying to light his cigarette.

Sounds like Mama was right: Smoking is bad for you; it can kill you.
