PERTH, Australia -- An Australian restaurant owner's attempt to get rid of cockroaches in his kitchen has left his eatery in ruins.
The owner set off 36 fumigation devices. However, he apparently forgot to extinguish an oven pilot flame.
Fire officials said the ensuing explosion lifted the roof off of the Thai restaurant, blew out the back wall as well as the front window and caused the ceilings to cave in. Three men were hospitalized with burns.
One fire official said of the owner, "He's just overdone it."

"I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me -- we won by 21. I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know."
Man if they can't handle those roaches, how the heck do they handle those kangaroos....
If you blow up a restaurant for roaches, do you shoot a nuclear missle for kangaroo problems.
If anyone's ever seen "Mythbusters" on the Discovery Channel, they demonstrated that this is actually easily done and has happened on more than one occasion.
This space reserved for BTP......If he ever wins it.
Yeah, that was the one where they sprayed coackroach death dpray in the toilet and then dropped in a lit cigarrette, right?
RIP 21
