No kidding, the report was that the man filled a soup pot with gasoline and took it to his kitchen, where he proceeded to begin to heat it on his stove.

George Gibbs, 23, suffered second- and third-degree burns on his head in Columbus, Ohio, in January. He had diagnosed his car's problem as a frozen fuel line, which he thought he could correct by running warm gasoline through it. He then tried to heat a two-gallon can of gasoline on a gas stove.

Now, where is the story about the man who sucked up a bunch of wasps with his vacuum cleaner, saw that they were crawling back out and decided to gas them by vacuuming an open but unlit burner on a stove?

Thank you very much, Karl. I was beginning to doubt my own memory of the story, ten years hence, because nobody could be THAT stupid.
