If only he could have died, he would be a shoe-in (http://www.boston.com/news/odd/articles/2006/04/12/boy_sets_self_on_fire_in_alleged_gas_theft/)

Seriously.... you gotta pray his pant-fire burned his little men makers so that he won\'t reproduce.

Police were called to the hospital to investigate the incident and later learned that the 17-year-old spilled gas on his pants while siphoning gas. He then used a lighter to try to determine how wet his pants were and set himself of fire, Hague said.  :laughing:

thats something you see in a movie

True that. I dunno if that\'s true though. Wouldn\'t it be on other news things? I showed it to my friend and he said some places make up news without people\'s names to get readers. Not sure if that\'s true.....or legal. Either way, it was a good read.

the kid lives in wyoming. Whats there to do besides light yourself on fire?

they probably keep it anonymous to keep the persons privacy..or else people like me would be making fun of him outside his door.

Its not THAT important to have a nation-wide report of a 16 year old lighting themselves on fire, unless its a super slow news day and all you have is reports of a leprechan.

I don\'t think we have to worry about people making fun of him outside his door, lol. I\'m sure everyone in that kids town knows who he is and what he did. You can\'t exactly hide setting yourself on fire.
