BERLIN (Reuters) - A German who tried to fix his leaky air mattress blew up his apartment instead, the fire brigade in the western city of Duesseldorf said Wednesday.

The 45-year-old man used tire repair solvent to plug a hole in his airbed and left it overnight.

But it blew up when he went to inflate it the next day. "A spark from the electric air pump ignited it," a fire brigade spokesman


Knowing this crowd, I can see the potential of this article and decided to save admin some time by proactively placing this in unmoderated.  :biggrin:

I just can't imagine being the guy trying to explain how this happened.  ;D

It is pretty ironic that of all of the possibilities, they accidentally picked someone who lives here in Indy; huh?
