Awesome and Awesomer
I'll leave you to decide which is which:
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) — Danny Fendley started more than just his lawn mower when he tugged at its pull chord — he started a fire that destroyed his home.
The mower exploded Tuesday in hot, parched conditions.
Fendley was trying to start the mower in the garage of his two-story brick home in this Atlanta suburb when the machine burst into flames. Before he could extinguish the fire, it had spread through the garage.
Then his wife tried to toss a can of gasoline out a window as the blaze spread, but she missed, spreading the fuel "everywhere," Fendley said.
The flames engulfed the house in less than a minute. The couple escaped without serious injury.

Now why can they have a house and I have to live in an apartment. Something is wrong there.
I hate when I'm just tossing gasoline cans out windows and Daniel already has a fire burning. It makes such a mess. These people sound so fanfreakintastic I can hardly stand it!
mo, you make an excellent point. more congressional inquiries into this issue i say.
Mo - I'm betting you could have the biggest house in all of John's Creek.
D - After really giving this story some thought over the last few days, I've decided that the husband, from what little evidence we can glean from the news article cited, is REALLY the most "awesome." Because he is the only one actually quoted in the story. His wife may have told the tale a little differently. Perhaps, tired of her obscenely idiotic spouse, this woman rigged the lawnmower to catch fire when her moronic husband started it. Then, wanting to seal the deal, she tried dousing the surrounding area in gasoline -- an act he took as her "throwing the gasoline out the window." Seeing that he was going to escape, she probably made it seem like an accident, and well...there you go. Plausible? Likely? You be the judge. I'm just saying there is more here than it appears.
