High school football star Timothy Guider of Shoreham, New York, had the house to himself on New Year's Eve, so he invited some friends over and, for amusement, hosed down the family parakeet with hair spray and set it on fire while his friends took photos of the bird burning up. The partygoers then took the charred remains to a second party to show it off and later posted the photos on the Internet, thereby proving that young kids are perfectly capable of amusing themselves without parental supervision.
