Freakin' Foreign Firestarters


According to Vietnamese website Ngoisao, on May 12, a young girl living in the Tan Binh district of Ho Chi Minh has burned down almost the entire third floor of her family’s home. Her father says the child did not have access to any fire-inducing objects, and that the fire was caused by the super-energy in her body. How many times have we heard that one before, right? But while that may sound like the exaggerations of a parent looking for media attention, this is apparently not the first time this Vietnamese girl has caused things to burst into fire just by going near them.

Here's my theory - maybe the electrical circuitry in Vietnam is not up to North American standards and THAT is why everything keeps bursting into flames? Have you considered that the this kid is a fire starter? Does she tingle when she is around matches? There are signs any responsible parent could notice. Does her jumper smell like charcoal? Can she cook a burrito in her pocket?  I can ask these questions all day and night people.
