Don’t Microwave Your Socks

I love how Drudge will highlight one idiot for worldwide ridicule. This time its an unnamed idiot in Britain who set his apartment on fire by microwaving his socks and underwear.

From the AP here:

British firefighters say they saved an apartment from destruction after its domestically challenged resident tried to dry his wet socks and underwear in a microwave oven.

The Dorset Fire and Rescue Service says firefighters rescued the man from his home and extinguished the kitchen blaze Monday.

The fire destroyed the appliance along with the two pairs of underwear and socks inside it, and caused smoke damage to the apartment in Weymouth, a town on England’s southwest coast.

There is an alarming number of photos on Google of burnt clothing that resulted from people nuking their clothes. Stupid is contagious.
