from the should have used a magnifying glass dept.
Maine's state fire marshal says a man burned down his parents' house [stthomastimesjournal.com] and killed three pets while trying to exterminate ants in his basement with matches.
Investigators say 21-year-old Devon Doucette was trying to incinerate the ants with wooden matches when one of them ignited combustible materials. The fire quickly spread to the rest of the house.
[...] Authorities say the fire killed two cats and one dog. They say charges are not likely.
Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
