Aussie drunk finds cigarettes and petrol don't mix
BRISBANE (Reuters) - A drunk man who lit a cigarette while filling a jerry can with petrol blew himself into the air and landed in the arms of the law, Australian police said.
The 40-year-old motorist drove into a petrol station on the Gold Coast tourist strip of Queensland early on Wednesday and began filling the can from a petrol bowser.
His pit stop came unstuck when the cigarette in his mouth ignited the petrol in the can.
The petrol exploded, his car burst into flames and the man was blown 4.5 metres (15 feet) through the air, crashing to earth on a nest of angry ants.
The man suffered minor burns to his legs which did not require hospital treatment, police said. Fire crews put out a blaze in his car, which was badly damaged.
"He suffered a few small burns and some ant bites, a police spokesman told Reuters.
"We took a vote and this is one of the stupidest things we've ever heard of."
Police arrested the singed and groggy man and charged him with drink-driving, driving without a licence and driving an unregistered vehicle.
The man, whose name was not released, will appear in court in two weeks time.

Man found having sex with doll after shop break-in
A man was found by police having sex with a rubber doll after breaking into a sex shop in Romania.
The 43-year-old unemployed miner had travelled to Cluj to look for work, but went drinking after failing to find a job.
He had drowned his sorrows in a pub and told locals he was desperate for sex because his wife had left him 10 years earlier.
It is alleged he later went outside and smashed the window of a neighbouring sex shop where the doll was on display and started using it on the shop counter.
Police claim he was still mumbling into the ear of the doll when they told him to pull up his trousers.
The man, who is from Lupeni, has been released from custody while charges are prepared by police.

Nude awakening for shoplifters in Austria
VIENNA (Reuters) - An Austrian supermarket worker has been letting female shoplifters off scot-free if they pose naked for photographs.
The 37-year-old is also accused of extorting 1,000 schillings (46 pounds) from each woman in compensation for stolen goods and administrative costs, which he then failed to pass on to the supermarket, Vienna police said on Tuesday.
The man was arrested after police found numerous nude photographs during a search of his office.
