OT:
Here's a novel approach to removing some of the over hanging supply of gasoline. From the laughter thread's 99 Darwin awards:
LAUNCHED ON THE FOURTH OF JULY
Three young men visiting Oklahoma were enjoying the coming Fourth of July holiday
and wanted to apparently test fire some fireworks. Their only real problem was that
their launch pad and seating arrangements were atop a several hundred thousand gallon
fuel distillation
storage tank. Oddly enough, some fumes were ignited, producing a fireball seen for
miles and miles. They were launched, no doubt, countless thousands of feet into the air
and were found dead 50 yards from their respective seats.

EDIT: I appologize if anyone finds this offensive......don't even know if it's true.....let's hope not<vbg>
