Never thought one of those cartoon scenes where a critter catches on fire, then proceeds to catch other things on fire, would actually occur in real life.

A classic case of spontaneous rodent combustion!

Actually it wasn't a mouse. It was a rat and the owner heard it screaching "alahu akbar" as it ran past. Where's homeland security when ya need them.
