Doofus Of The Day #267


Today's award goes to Shing Dong and Huan Ling of China.

Dopey smokers blew themselves up after lighting cigarettes while they sat on a revolutionary new eco loo powered by marsh gas.

Matches used by Shing Dong and Huan Ling ignited the gasses, used to filter smells above reed beds that help break up waste from the environmentally approved lavatories in Qinzhou, southern China.

"Two men were badly burned around their hips and bottoms because they set fire to the gas.

"It was their own fault. There are clear warning signs not to smoke," said a police spokesman.


I note that Chinese police take a properly unsympathetic attitude to such displays of Doofidity!
