I blame Apey for putting a link to the site in the first place.  To be honest this was the more believable of the stories on that site.

A decent attempt Mr Darwin sir, maybe more power next time... 



That sounds less like a way to wake someone up and more like a precordial thump

I can't read it all as I have an ad blocker...

True but the fact that she was stupid enough to do it in the first place suggests that in the worst case we probably wouldn't have lost a nobel prize winner.

'A driver caused an explosion in his car when he lit a cigarette after spraying air freshener.

He used "excessive" amounts of the aerosol scent before sparking up, according to firefighters.

Gas from the spray ignited, blew out the windscreen and windows and buckled the doors but the man escaped with only minor injuries.'
