"He sustained some burns and is now being treated by doctors."

Wussy, any Buddist monk can show you how it's done.

In America, fire sets man!

/Wait...

submitter: Russian man sets fire self

Does Russian lack the word "to"? I don't even know what part of speech "to" falls under. What's to? I'm sure it's a particle or an article or a gerund or one of those other things I don't know the meaning of. I suck at English.

Vin Diesel: I don't even know what part of speech "to" falls under

It's a preposition in this case. Can also be used as an adverb (as in, "After being knocked unconscious by a tremendous cockpunch, it was fifteen minutes before the submitter came to.").

Vin Diesel: Russian lack the word "to"

Has it - K. But, if my limited knowledge is correct, it would not be used in this sentence.

/not submitter

green...:(

wait... there are good reasons to set one's self on fire?

Maybe someone told him to DIAF?

*sniff*

Smell's like a crispy commie in here.

/one ticket please

FIRE heh heh heh FIRE heh heh heh FIRE heh heh heh heh heh FIRE

That's hot.

/sorry.

Flamewar!

Megain: wait... there are good reasons to set one's self on fire?


"What do you mean that hooker had an Adam's Apple?"
YEE-AAAAUUGGGHHHHH!!!!

Better dead than red & crispy ?

Chugging vodka while smoking cigarettes is unhealthy.

man on fire in red square while putin is vacationing on the black sea.

there you have it in black and white.

Maybe he felt really guilty after jerking it in a porn store video booth?

/It was so damn hot outside, I saw one of those little guys in orange robes just BURST into flames!

whitetrashcompactor: Camel... you owe me a new keyboard. The guiness that came out of my nose just soaked it!


Great balls o'fire!!!!

maybe he did it for the same reason that other guy put on over 100 shirts?

As opposed to people who do it for perfectly logical reasons.

There is ALWAYS a good reason to set yourself on fire.

Don't forget it.

Flaming Russian
1 ounce Vodka
1/5 ounce Bacardi 151 rum.

"Dick Clark, who is recovering from a stroke, then introduced singer Barry Manilow, who put off having hip surgery to perform the 'American Bandstand' theme song, for which he wrote the lyrics."

sorry... amusing myself, as the above article fails to.

32-year-old Russian man

Wheeee...

Do you really need a good reason to set yourself on fire?

Made me thing of "Waking Life."

"A man poured inflammable liquid on himself and ignited it,"

Maybe he thought inflammable was the opposite of flammable?


/ohhhh, so that's what it means

Poor mental health is a pretty good reason.

Submitter should skip the middleman, and just go to a mental health clinic for a side-splittingly hilarious time.

I'm with you! OUT THE SUBMITTER! My dad was killed by a Russian who set himself on fire.
And a clown.

"The man is believed to be mentally instable," the agency's source said.

Typo, or is there a helpful grammar Nazi out there who can explain why unstable has an i in this article.

All Apologies: is there a helpful grammar Nazi out there who can explain why unstable has an i in this article


Because it is correct either way.

/grammar nazi

/so close

"The man is believed to be mentally instable," the agency's source said.

It's fairly safe to say that anybody who wants to set himself on fire is mentally instable.

Perhaps he was just really, really cold?

Thank you AnitNorm. The good Grammar Nazi.

Only through self-inflicted flesh combustion can one truly discover inner peace.

I'm with you! OUT THE SUBMITTER! My dad was killed by a Russian who set himself on fire.

I was raped by fire as a child. Now it burns when I pee.

"Well, here we are at the Red Square, waiting for the lighting of the Russian. Peter?"

"Yes, the Square's in tip top condition, and I think we can expect some first rate lighting this morning, Brian."

"Russian man sets fire to himself for no good reason"

...for the motherland?

I had a friend who set fire to himself before. He went to the hosptial and got all kinds of drugs.

Give a man a match and he's warm for a second.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Al Gorithm just beat me to it...

Bon_Scott: Perhaps he was just really, really cold?

Makes sense.

"The man is believed to be mentally instable," the agency's source said.

Let me be the 3rd or 4th to say...

YA THINK???

Somebody post a picture of the Buddhist monk setting himself on fire during the Vietnam War, but with a Russian fur hat photo shopped on him.

/yes, i'm tasteless
//too lazy to photoshop

HE'S Russian!
That's reason enough.

Maybe it's a hot new fad that'll spread like wildfire.
