GRANTS PASS, Ore. - To prove his love, a 38-year-old man set himself on fire before getting down on one knee and asking his girlfriend to marry him.

About 100 people gathered to watch Todd Grannis perform the flaming stunt on Monday, which involved wearing a cape soaked in gasoline.

Grannis climbed up a 10-foot scaffold, was set on fire and then plunged into a swimming pool, dousing the blaze.

Emerging unscathed, he got down on one knee and proposed, as a friend standing nearby slipped him the engagement ring.



:rofl: "Honey, you make me hot"

There is also a picture of the stunt at http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_070605_life_fire_stunt.7eb52bd0.html but iirc, it is a registration-required site.

4. Just a bit, eh?

Very close candidate for the Darwin Award?

Surely there are easier ways to propose marriage?

Get out now. While you still can.

9. And this is good husband material?

She'd better get some life insurance and a pre-nup.
