MILWAUKEE -- A woman died of burns Tuesday after trying to light her boyfriend on fire, police said.

Police and fire officials found the 31-year-old woman standing in front of her apartment building early Tuesday with second- and third-degree burns over 90 percent of her body, Sgt. Kenneth Harris said.

"She got into an argument with her boyfriend and she attempted to douse him with lighter fluid and in dousing him, she doused herself," Harris said. The woman used a cigarette lighter to ignite the fire, he said.

The woman died at a hospital several hours later. Harris said her 57-year-old boyfriend, who lived at the apartment, was treated and released with minor injuries, but was arrested on a drug-related charge.

4. I love the smell of a flamewar in the morning (free commentary inside!)

As promised--the free commentary

The nice thing about this particular jpgray quip is that it works on so many levels. Sure all my quips are devastatingly clever and show profound comedic insight, but look at the depth here! Moving beyond the simple Apocalypse Now reference, based on the content of the thread, 'flamewar' is particularly appropriate, and indeed it is NOW morning! It is amazing that Skinner and Co. don't pay me for my services.

11. I'm reminded of a news item a few years back

a guy lit himself on fire, changed his mind and started rolling around and rolled off of a cliff. :o
