On the contrary. I would imagine that precooked meat would probably make her job easier. Very thoughtful.

The headline is correct. Everyone knows that he should have doused himself in sweet and sour sauce.

He was a raging alcoholic who had not worked in years. 50 bucks says his wife was relieved to be rid of his ass.

Trouble was, he kept going out, so she had to keep re-lighting him.

Sanjivan locked [his wife] in the house before setting himself on fire outside

Hmmm, they install doorlocks backward in Indian homes?

Is it wrong that I laughed myself silly over the headline?

Is it wrong that I knew before I RTFA that it was India?

Oh, forgot the usage note:

Usage Note: Historically, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. However, the presence of the prefix in- has misled many people into assuming that inflammable means not flammable or noncombustible. The prefix -in in inflammable is not, however, the Latin negative prefix -in, which is related to the English -un and appears in such words as indecent and inglorious. Rather, this -in is an intensive prefix derived from the Latin preposition in. This prefix also appears in the word enflame. But many people are not aware of this derivation, and for clarity's sake it is advisable to use only flammable to give warnings.

I get the feeling most of these "strange stories" from India, Africa and Russia are just made up for the purpose of getting linked to by sites like fark.

Irritated by this, Sanjivan locked her in the house before setting himself on fire outside.

I doubt if she tried very hard to go outside and stop him. Reminds me of the Polish family who almost starved to death when they locked themselves in the car.

Of course he's not a muslim, he only killed himself without trying to take out innocent bystanders or supposed enemies of his 'one true path'.

Here's a tip kids, if your religion only has one god it's not going to be very imaginative.

I see you're relatively new here...

See Fark Cliches (wikipedia)

"Moran": Misspelling of moron, referring to a well-known picture of a redneck holding two signs saying "Get a brain! Morans" and "Go USA", in response to anti-war activists protesting the US invasion of Iraq.
