No kidding, this was posted on Hyatt's site just prior to the rollover:

HELP I was just loading my gun clips and the gun misfired and shot a hole in my 55 gallon water barrel. The stream of water started coming out right into the gun safe and got all my ammo wet so then I went and got the electric heater to dry the ammo and the phone rang and it was my brother. I stayed on the phone too long and heard some pops going off in the basement. After I ran down there I realized that the electric heater had melted the plastic on the black powder bottle and ignighted the powder which started to ignight the 3,000 rounds I had in the 6 foot gun safe so I slammed the door shut on it. It put the show at the Eiffel Tower to shame and is still going off in the basement. I am sure the neighbors just think we are celebrating News Years but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to make it stop...at this point I am a little afraid to open the door....do you think smothering it with a blanket would help? Helpless in Arkansas Whitestone....maybe I should have taken that gun safety class...

Clips don't accidently go off and if 3,000 rounds cought fire he wouldn't make it to the phone.

I agree, a little farfetched, but trolls are rare there, and they have not accepted new members for two weeks.

Just found the story amusing, that's all.

Here's a link BTW

I don't believe this at all! Troll alert!

Definitely a troll! A GI would have used his wood stove (not an electric heater)!
