Not exactly in Warsaw but just across the border and too funny to miss. A guy wanted to get some stains out of his trousers but not wishing to pay exhorbitant Dry cleaning bill he invented his own and poured a pint of Gasoline into the washing machine last friday. Ten minutes later the resultant explosion blew out three of the four walls of the bathroom where machine was,causing the bath and WC fittings from the flat upstairs to crash down and finish the destruction of this Idiots flat. The landlord and police are now looking for him after he ran away. MORAL… leave it to the professionals,even cleaning trousers[:D]
We heard about this one over here in the states. Some people have NO common sense.
pitty he survived…evolution was hurt badly…lol

Saw something like that before.
A long time ago (25 yrs) with two guys (Mike and Don) changing the #4 engine on a B-17 air tanker on the Douglas Arizona airport. There was a small laundermat at the airport and Mike and I had washed our clothes in the same machine. When we finished the airplane about 10 oclock that night, Don took off his overalls, rinsed them in a five gallon bucket of 100 octane. While Mike and I sorted our clothes in front of one of the dryers, Don proceeded to throw his gas soaked overalls into a washer and turned it on. A few minutes passed and the machine started to agitate. All of a sudden, there was a flash like a nuc going off and all the bugs that had been flying around the place fell out of the air.
When Mike and I turned around, and there stood Don (wearing only shorts and shoes), looking like he had a severe sunburn and absolutly no hair on the front of his body. And the washer sat there, not running, with the front, sides and top blown off. All Don could say was “My God, My God”. Apparently he had decided to watch his overalls agitate and had opened the top door on the washer, which promptly shorted and ignited the gas fumes.
Figuring we had had enough of lunacy for the evening we loaded Don and our clothes into the pick up, put the washer back to gether as best we could, and beat feet towards Kansas.
So you see that this idiocy is not limited to today or to Europe.

Some people just shouldnt breed!
How dumb can ya be and still remember to breath!!!
Well as a firefighter I see things like that all the time where you want ask them just what were they thinking the moment before things turned bad. Of coarse it’s rare when you actually get somebody to admit how stupid it was, seems most still don’t see what was wrong with say dumping 5 gal of gasoline on a pile of leaves.
The only problem with giving him the Darwin Award is that he had to die in the incident. I bet he wishes he was dead after that!

Thank you qmiester, For a monday morning that story really brightened the day. I can’t help thinking that you two guys stood there and watched him do that rinse!!! That bang must have really echoed round the airfield !!! It is only a shame that firefighters have to risk their lives saving people from their own stupidity.
Here’s some real life pictures I recieved in an e-mail from someone.
It’s not related to modeling but it is funny:
