Man Attacks Stain in Trousers...Destroys Apartment
A word of advice when dealing with stubborn stains: it's generally a good idea to stay away from "solutions" that are potentially combustible.
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man may wish he had stuck with having dirty trousers after an imaginative attempt to purge a stubborn paint stain on them destroyed his apartment.
The unnamed Muscovite added a liter of petrol to his washing machine to help dissolve the stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday, but the ensuing explosion wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls.
Jeez, what a dumbass. Anyone knows that to get paint stains out you have to use diesel....
