this dude must really love picnics
Posted: 2013/05/09 Filed under: crazy crazy crazy, events, good idea, WTF Leave a commentA Polish man has been left critically injured after he allegedly blew up his house when he realised his wife and children had gone on a picnic without him.
Czeslaw Kaminski, 69, was believed to have been so incensed when he woke to find a note from his wife to say that she had gone away for the day with the children that he decided to destroy the family home to teach her a lesson.
He allegedly started a fire in the basement of his home and threw two gas cylinders on top of the property in the village of Chechlo Drugie, near Lodz, in central Poland.
Thank god it wasn’t a BBQ. Also, it MAY have an anger problem. Not sure though.

300 Gallons Of Urine Found In Man’s Connecticut House
Posted: 2013/05/01 Filed under: awesome person, crazy crazy crazy, good idea, hobby, WTF | Tags: 300 gallons of urine, jugs, pee, so much pee you guys Leave a commentIf pee stories are your persuasion, urine luck!
Authorities in Newtown, Conn. said they found a home filled with as many as 300 one-gallon jugs of urine on Friday, according to the Danbury News Times.
The state’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection stumbled upon the discovery after local health officials asked the agency to investigate.
DEEP condemned the house and the owner could face charges, though that’s unlikely, according to WTNH.
Dennis Schain of DEEP, said he was confident the urine belonged to the owner, whose name has not been released.
“From our conversation, it seemed that he was responsible for putting the containers there,” Schain said. “It’s most unusual. Our crews have been out over the years, and they are having a hard time recalling something like this.”

This is precisely my kind of news.
Immediate questions: Was their any poo poo? Is it a plumbing thing? Was this dude doing scientific experiments on his pee? Selling clean pee for drug tests (no way he would need that much)? How many days would it take to pee that much? What kind of jugs were they.. all the same or just miscellaneous jugs? Is hoarding your own urine a thing? I NEED MORE INFO.
