A man has blown up part of his house in France while trying to swat a fly. The man, who is in his 80s, was about to tuck into his dinner when he became irritated by a fly buzzing around him. He picked up an electric racket designed to kill bugs and start swatting at it - but a gas canister was leaking in his Dordogne home. A reaction between the racket and the gas caused an explosion, destroying the kitchen and partly damaging the roof of the home in Parcoul-Chenaud village. According to local media, the unnamed man had a lucky escape, sustaining just a burn to the hand. However, the fate of the fly is not known, news outlet Sud-Ouest notes. He has since checked into a local campsite while his family repair the house.  www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54051423 |

Maybe he's related to the old lady who swallowed a fly?

Thank goodness it didn't happen in the United States or there would be all sorts of "Typical Stupid American" posts... and partisan snark if his politics could even remotely be guessed at.  . |

I tell you there's nothing more annoying than a fly buzzing around you. ... Trolls are more annoying ... unlike them, flies do not CHOOSE to be annoying.

The sequel to Mousehunt is more hardcore than anticipated.

We watched a how to video on 'how to swat a fly' It was really helpful. The key is to come from behind the fly! |

This is for real? True, those stinkers are really annoying. What's even stranger is these days I've noticed fly swatters are harder and harder to come by. Back in my day, (I hate that phrase), but we used to have those long, swirly goopy, sticky strips of fly paper hanging from the ceiling, usually not far from the kitchen table!  |

However, the fate of the fly is not known Probably escaped unharmed and is now sitting on a wall, laughing his ass off.

We have 'mosquito abatement districts'. They spray and put minnows in mosquito areas. It is great. I haven't been bitten in years! |

Mosquitoes breed in standing water so I check our rain collection barrels but I don’t know if nearby people are so diligent.
