Another "You Can't Make This Stuff Up"...

[CaptPatrick]

Or should it be titled "Dumb folks do dumb stuff", or "Just another example of the Dwindling Gene Pool"?

In any case:


Whether it’s snakes on a plane or snakes near your house, one thing’s for sure: lighting them on fire is probably not such a good idea.

A Texas woman unfortunately discovered this the hard way, squaring off with a snake near her home while working in her yard. According to a local official, while the woman was doing some cleaning work, she encountered the snake, which she doused in gasoline before lighting it on fire. The flaming snake then slithered into a brush pile by the house, igniting it and the house in a conflagration that quickly spread, eventually damaging a neighboring home.
