There are things that could be inserted inside various body cavities that, when detonated, would create a wonderful and colorful display....

When we were kids Drano bombs were the thing! take a 2 inch pipe nipple with 2 endcaps,fill it halfway with Drano crystals,pour in water,screw on other cap,throw into abandoned car and run!
Anywhere from 40 seconds to 2 minutes then BOOM!! not only did it generally shatter the windows,one piece actually flew thru the roof of an abandoned Valiant

Just sent this link to a buddy in the Eau Claire area. His sister is a city attorney, so if this was inside the city limits, she's probably in on the case. He's going to ask her about it tomorrow over dinner (why not?)...

With all due respect, Mistress, I would argue that a more pressing warning might be that lighters and genitals don't mix. That's a mere assumption, mind you -- I can't say I speak from experience.
You may be singing up the wrong tree,
But I think we would all agree,
Never to mix all three.

Isn't tha tlike rubbing salt on the wound?

If a man can set the world on fire, why can't he do the same with his own testicles?
It's his "friend" who is up for a possible ten years.

I don't follow. They both were doing the stunt and were willing participants so why is one guy being charged for it? It's not like he did it on purpose WITHOUT the victim's permission.

What? You can't set your friend's testicles on fire, even if he asks nicely?

My bad, I should have read the article twice before posting my question.

I don't get that part either; neither does aklim, apparently. I wonder if he'll get off.

I don't know if the "arsonist" will get off. But his buddy with the roasted nuts will have a hard time getting off--any time soon in any event.

Man, just reading this story it makes me cringe.

Reminds me of the joke:

A guy goes to the pet store and the owner was showing him a very talented bird that could sing Christmas carols. Owner took a butane lighter and put it under the right foot and the bird started to sing "Jingle Bells". Put it under the left foot and the bird sang "Silent Night". Impressed, the guy asked the owner if the bird could sing anything else. The owner put the lighter between the bird's legs and lit it. At which time the bird sang "Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire"
