Here's a copy of an article in the local
paper under"Least competent people"

Novelist (27 books)David Eddings,75,accidentally
destroyed his Carson City,Nevada,garage and part of his
next-door office in January while he was flushing out
the gas tank of his idle sports car.He said later that
his intention was to remove the gasoline from the car
to reducethe fire risk,but then he saw that some fluid
had leaked onto the garage floor.For some reason,Edding's
curiosity about the leak (water or gasoline)caused him
to light a piece of paper and toss it onto the puddle,
just to find out."One word comes to mind," he later
told the Nevada Appeal."Dumb".
- I hope that it wasn't a British car.

Nose,Nose what goes. Aperently this guy`s NOSE was "Out to lunch" Geeze give it a sniff or even a taste, but light a match. That takes the grand prize in the stupidity contest!
 
i've read most of this guy's books, and I quite liked them. Never would have figured him for one with momentary lapses of moronism this big, though. Geesh.

Working at Fairchild years ago, building the A-10, my partner and I always had two rags handy; one wet with Methyl Ethyl Ketone, and one wet with water. One day I got mixed up which was which, so I took a BIG whiff of one rag.

It was the MEK rag.

Wonder if that incident made me the way I am today?

You crack my up!
/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif I said SNIFF it, not HUFF the stuff! Gezzzzzzzzzzze!
BTW I don`t do the taste test unless I CAN`T smell anything, and even at that my taste test consists of as small a portion if said liquid as I can manage to get on the tip of my pinky Hahahahahahaha.
 
Nice beard, Aweman.
