local news for the fail, once again...
Oct. 30th, 2008 02:32 pmI have no idea why, but some man SET HIMSELF ON FIRE in the middle of my alma mater's campus. What. The. HELL.
They think it's a suicide attempt (what else would you call dousing yourself in gas and lighting a match, I suppose?), but... umm... excuse me if I think that's not exactly a normal way to choose to go? I mean... and in the middle of UW campus? Why?
ETA: Campus chatter is that the guy was a former employee in the Facilities department. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume that Facilities is undergoing budget cuts and is letting some people go... damn.
