Boy Who Asked to Be Set on Fire Is Hospitalized
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A 13-year-old Orange boy was hospitalized and his 15-year-old friend was arrested on suspicion of assault after the older teen complied with his friend's request to be set on fire, police said Sunday.
The incident occurred about 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the victim's home on Bourbon Street.
Witnesses told police the 13-year-old doused his shirt with cologne, then asked his friend to squirt him with lighter fluid and ignite the shirt. "I don't think they expected the kid to get burned — just the shirt," Sgt. Fred Lopez said.
The boy was reported in critical but stable condition at UCI Medical Center in Orange. He is expected to recover, Lopez said.

now all of you must heap praises on me and may be report to Times or Newsweek or even nominate me for Nobel prize-
back in the 1980s a Norwegian man died in California at the ripe age of 78,before he died he told of a story,the first time he told the story in Norway,he was put away for years-
here is his story-
when he was 7 years old ,he and his father sailed towards the Northpole looking for ivory and ran into a fierce storm and ended up in the centre of the earth,the residents are giants with average height of 10 feet and they have gold,lots of gold and their grapes are the size of oranges.
They were very well treated but afer one year,they got homesick and want to return home.The giants gave them lots of gold and with that they sailed toward Norway.
There was another fierce storm and his father perished and they lost all that gold.
He lived to tell the story and no one believe him.
so at his death bed,he repeated the story.
Now here is where I stand to get the Nobel prize-
I was surfing the net and looking for where the eskimos/Inuits come from and lo and behold,there is a website hosted by the Inuits of Canada and they claimed long long time ago their ancestors co-exist with another group of people with long arms and long limbs and blue eyed,both races are very strong and throw the boulders around like we would throw a grapefruit around.But this long armed folks are stronger so the Inuits dont want to mess around with them,and those long armed folks dont know how to build kayaks.Anyway,rivalry broke out when the long armed folks stole the kayak and the Inuits fought back by cutting their throat.
Anyway,they moved away,no one knows where they move to.
COULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT THEY MOVED TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH??
SHOULD WE HIRE A CRUISE SHIP AND FIND OUT,SINCE IT IS CHEAPER AND GIVE US OLD AGE THIRD GRADERS SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO DO??
It may even put us old age thirdgraders on the map,catapult us into the top page of Times,Newsweek,National Geographic,New England Journal of Medicine and may be invited to dinner with the KIng of Sweden,Queen of Denmark and King of Norway,what do you guys think?
Got to plan ahead,old age is just round the corner for us!!
/ lets all stop whining !! /

Whenever I hear such stories I'm reminded for some reason of the classic, "God love idiots, that why he made so many..." Darwin observed that they tend to weed themselves out of the gene pool via natural selection i.e. self-inflicted death if sufficently stupid.
