Apologies if this was posted in an earlier and more timely manner. I ran across this here but can't verify the source at the Chronicle site because the story is over a year old. joeha.com Muskegon, Michigan (Muskegon Chronicle): A US man is alleged to have blown up his Michigan home while sniffing propane gas and smoking marijuana. Brian Allen Miller has been charged with unlawful possession or use of a harmful device causing property damage. If found guilty he could receive a maximum jail term of 20 years. It's reported Miller was in his bedroom with a 20-pound propane cylinder when the vapours ignited after he lit up a joint. The explosion ripped through his former Muskegon home on July 16, blowing part of it off its foundations. It started a fire which destroyed the building and damaged two neighbouring houses. Miller has since moved to another house. The 40-year-old escaped with minor burns while his 15-year-old daughter, 20-year-old son and a 19-year-old guest, escaped without injury. Prosecutor Tony Tague said: "If there was a charge for ignorance, this would be appropriate." Bail was set at $1,000 and a preliminary hearing was set for August 9, reports the Muskegon Chronicle

There was a Marine deployed to Afghanistan. While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend. In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone, and she wanted to break up AND she wanted pictures of herself back. So the Marine does what any squared away Marine would do. He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could find. He then mailed about 25 pictures to his girlfriend with the following note: "I'm sorry but I can't remember which one you are, but please take the one that belongs to you and send the rest back. Thank you. Your Marine Buddy"
