| 2004-08-15 |
| Sat Aug 14,12:30 PM ET LONDON (Reuters) - A rabbit set alight by a bonfire at a British cricket club got its revenge when it ran burning into a hut and set it ablaze destroying costly equipment, the club said on Friday. Members of Devizes cricket club in Wiltshire, western England, were burning dead branches when a rabbit caught up in the waste sped burning from the flames spreading a fire which destroyed lawnmowers and tools worth $110,000. Insert overcooked Welsh rabbit jokes >here<. "After it had been going 5 minutes, the rabbit shot out of the bonfire on fire and went into the hut which is our equipment store," club chairman John Bedbrook told Reuters. Two fire engines were called to extinguish the blaze. The rabbit’s skeleton was discovered in the charred hut. "The firemen were certainly concerned about the rabbit. They felt sorry for it," said Bedbrook. Let this be a lesson to you all regarding what happens when cricketers are left to their own Devizes. |

| #4 Stephen, at the risk of putting yourself on the Fatwa short list's top five offenders, I'd copyrite the name "Wahabi wabbit". That is a classic in the making. |

Would it be accurate to say that rabbit was burning rubber? These self-serve ovens are going to need some more work before we can market them. Work gloves?2Euros.Solid gold lighte?300Euros.The look on insuranse adjusters' face when you explain how club burned to ground?Priceless. "Look at the bright side,Sir John.We 're going to win next weeks' Britains' Funniest Videos." "I say,fox hunting isn't nearly as thrilling!" "Flopsy,I swear I haven't been drinking.The pile of wood just burst into fire for no reason."
