Revenge Of The Ants

From the Houston Chronicle: A 12-year-old Dayton boy accidently lit himself on fire while trying to burn ant hills at his house, authorities said.
The boy was pouring gasoline onto ant hills at his house in the 4700 block of County Road 4704 around 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning, said Cpt. Ken DeFoor with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office.
The flame from the ant hill hit a five-gallon plastic container of gasoline the boy was using and set him on fire. The boy, whose name has not yet been released, appeared to have second and third degree burns over 80 percent of his body, DeFoor said.
He was Life Flighted to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
The incident is current under investigation.  http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Dayton-boy-lights-himself-on-fire-while-burning-4286164.php
Yeah, putting 5 gallons of gas onto ant hill will not work out well.  Hope the kid survives and learned his lesson: don't with the ants.
