Two Bad Pranks For April Fool's Day

A guy "pranked" his friend by lighting a match while his friend was pumping gas, causing a fireball that could have killed a baby, and the prankster to run around on fire for a while. Caught on tape! I like when the blond lady hurls herself out of the car. Everyone lived. Don't do this:

Speaking of bad pranks, YouTube's April Fool's joke is almost worse than lighting a match at a gas tank. Almost. It's the website April Fool's equivalent of short-sheeting a bed. Thanks, Grandma YouTube!

Weird, because I would have expected gmail to be hilarious! April Fool's day is the worst and pranks are stupid.

Before I saw the video, I thought "a fireball that could have killed a baby" was just a matter of speaking, like as a way to gauge the size of the fireball.

Ok, the video is showing now. The guy deserved to get burn for being such an idiot. Had he died he definetly would have won a Darwin Award. And I can't believe that lady jumped out the window WITHOUT the baby!

God's April Fool joke on me was to give me adult onset acne AND dry skin in the same day.
