A couple transporting a barbecue grill were injured Sunday after their rental sport utility vehicle exploded, Orlando police said

 

Floridaman and Floridawoman. When they get together, things get volatile!

 

Oh, and this tidbit was just shocking:

Dadaille, 39, had an active warrant for his arrest on a fleeing and eluding charge, according to police.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

And THAT is why they won't let you load oxygen or acetylene in a car/van and not an open air truck!
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!

It's hard to believe they didn't smell the "odorizer" they put in LPG tanks before it reached explosive levels.

Oh.  Well.  Maybe it's different in Florida.

Or maybe they badly needed underarm deodorant.  [barf]

Oooo!  Oooo!  Or, or, maybe they had a mobile meth lab in the back and it let go.

REFs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanethiol  (See "Uses")

Quote
Ethanethiol is intentionally added to butane and propane (see: LPG) to impart an easily noticed smell to these normally odorless fuels that pose the threat of fire, explosion, and asphyxiation.  In the underground mining industry, ethanethiol or ethyl mercaptan is referred to as "stench gas".[10] The gas is released into mine ventilation systems to alert mine workers during an emergency.

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

Bumped because they include Hank Hill's reaction.

He says he then saw Hester take a cut straw and snort the cocaine,"
