Modesto man sets underpants on fire, prompts Walgreens evacuation

A man set his underpants on fire in a Modesto Walgreens Saturday, prompting a storewide evacuation.

45-year-old Andrew Cheadle reportedly told Modesto police that he had an accident, and when he could not remove his underwear, he attempted to use a lighter to burn them off, according to the Modesto Bee.

Cheadle then tossed the burning underwear in a toilet, extinguishing the fire and generating enough smoke to fill the bathroom. The Walgreens, at Standiford Avenue and Carver Road, was evacuated shortly thereafter, at about 9:20 a.m.

Don't drunkenly fight pigs people, or this could happen.

Farmer dies after pig bit off his penis and three fingers

Miguel Anaya Pablo, 60, allegedly decided to start fighting with his pig after a drunken night out in his home town of San Lucas Ojitlan in south-western Mexico’s state of Oaxaca.

Local media reports that the pig became aggressive after the farmer provoked it, jumping up and knocking him over.

The animal then bit off three of the fingers of Mr Pablo’s right hand and his penis.

The farmer was rushed to hospital in the nearby town of Tuxtepec and treated for the bite wounds.

But despite their interventions, doctors could not control the bacterial infections caused by the pig’s bites.
