HAVELOCK, N.C. -- Police say a North Carolina man is dead after he accidentally drank from a jar of gasoline and then smoked a cigarette.
Havelock police received a 911 call about 9:55 p.m. Monday after 43-year-old Gary Allen Banning set himself on fire. Banning was transported to UNC Burn Center in Chapel Hill, where he died early Tuesday morning.
City spokeswoman Diane Miller said investigators believe Banning was at a friend's apartment when he apparently mistook a jar of gasoline sitting by the kitchen sink for a beverage. After taking a gulp, he spit the gas out and got some on his clothes.

(58,354 posts)They re enact strange deaths, on this particular show some guy's girlfriend brings a sack of bananas to his apartment.
When he reaches in the sack, a tropical spider; which had hitched a ride on the bananas bites him.
He thinks nothing of it and has sex with his girlfriend, after she leaves he still has an erection so he calls another girl and they have sex, after she leaves, he still's stiff as Santorum so he calls up yet another girl, this man's strength wasn't faithfulness, after having sex yet again he dies of a heart attack.
The program stated his sexual excitement and ultimate heart attack is how this spider venom works, sort of like viagra on steroids.

Light up a smoke after drinking gasoline? Really?

(33,688 posts)as you lifted it up to your phiz? You had to DRINK the stuff before you figured out that it was GAS? This is the herd doing some self-thinning in this case.
Although an equally good question is who in the blue hell keeps a jar of gasoline sitting next to the kitchen sink?
Lots of idiots combined to get this result.
