=> This item comes by way of Lee Felshin:
=> Ceres, California:
=>
=> Three janitors trying to freeze a gopher to death caused an explosion that
=> injured 19 people, mostly pupils, at an elementary school, officials said.
=>
=> The janitors were blown out of a small utility room on Monday when one
=> tried to light a cigarette after spraying the gopher with several cans of
=> a freezing solvent used to clean gum and wax off floors.
=>
=> One janitor, Jeff Davis, said they were trying to kill the gopher, which
=> a student had found on school grounds and had taken to them.
=>
=> Two janitors remained hospitalized today in stable condition. Sixteen
=> pupils near the explosion were treated for minor injuries.
=>
=> The gopher survived and was later released in a field.
I'm certain the collective wisdom on this list can come up with better
tag lines for this than i could ever hope to think of.
