Reminds me of the flaming lizard who started a wildfire near Lake Tahoe.

Apparently some kids put gasoline on a lizard and then lit it. The lizard (on fire) ran away and caught the forest on fire.
 
YESSSSS I mean we had mouse traps back in new mexico but setting anything thats alive on fire is crossing a line. That mouse kicks ass.

Either this story was reported as "Fact" even though it was unverifiable and based on a speculation (my guess it was one of the Fireman) *or* it was just made up this way by the reporter; Fake but Accurate as with the Bush TANG memos from the 1960's/70's that CBS wrote up in Microsoft Word using the default settings.

More than likely the reporter "juiced" up the story, since reality was that the mouse was already dead and some guy burning his house down on accident wasn't enough of a story (according to the reporter).

This is why I rarely watch the TV news anymore, who knows if it's real or not these days.

Did anyone hear about the thwarted terrorist attack by Algerians who were captured by the use of wiretap eavesdropping? No, of course not. It doesn't fit with the MSM (Main Stream Media) view that wiretapping by the NSA is totally BAD, man and no one should listen to terrorists plotting their next attack because that, like, totoally violates their privacy to plan to commit mass murder.
