There really is no shortage of candidates is there?......

A man with an apparent case of arachnophobia caused a fire at a suburban Detroit gas pump by putting a lighter to what he says was a spider near his fuel door. WJBK-TV reports Saturday that he escaped injury and his vehicle suffered little damage, but the gas pump was destroyed.

Well it appears "Brain Dead' twit hit the TV3 news tonight , one thing I noticed was was the 'Pegasus' logo off the petrol station , in the 1960s 1970s was the logo for the 'Atlantic' brand that used to be local to community's , course the 'Pegasus' was well known on the Lockheed C-121J Constellation that was with 'OPERATION DEEP FREEZE' that crashed on the ice in Oct 1970 ... No spiders live there.
