    Right , this has got to be one of the sickest and funniest stories
    you are ever likely to read! It is an actual article from the L.A. Times - Enjoy!

    'Flaming Gerbil'

    "In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was
    only trying to retrieve the gerbil" Eric Tomaszewski told bemused
    doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski, and his homosexual partner Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.

    "I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot,
    our gerbil, in." he explained. "As usual "Kiki shouted out
    Armageddon', my cue that he'd had enough. I tried to retrieve
    Raggot but he wouldn't come out again, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him."

    At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman described what happened next:
    "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out
    of the tubing, igniting Mr. Tomaszewski's hair and severely
    burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent outlike a cannonball."

    "Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract."


    True story.

    'Fraid not mate, according to http://www.snopes.com/risque/homosex/gerbil.htm


    Versions of the following gerbilling fiction date back at least to 1993 when a faked United Press International item appeared on the Internet, one that named Vito Bustone and Kiki Rodriguez of Lake City, Florida, as the accident victims. (The gerbil's name was withheld by request of the family.) Other versions have been falsely attributed to the Los Angeles Times with the events said to have taken place in Salt Lake City, Utah. Rest assured that neither news outlet ever published a news article about these fictitious events

    Still funny though
