Darwin Olympics: Dude Uses Blowtorch to Kill Spiders, Burns Down Parents’ Home

Meanwhile in California . . .

One guy got a little extra with his spider-killing ways when he was house-sitting his parents’ home.

Dude came across some black widow spiders and his inner-agoraphobic got the better of him. Not sure why he thought using a blowtorch was the best idea, but then again, we don’t call this the “Darwin Olympics” for nothin’.

Fortunately, he was able to escape the blaze, but the 29 firefighters on the scene weren’t able to save the home’s attic nor second story from being damaged.

The Fresno Firefighters had quite the advice to share on their social media, though no word on what ever happened with those spiders.
