I missed the details, but there was a case recently where a porta potty exploded. I always wondered if someone went in there while smoking and maybe ignited the methane!?

Turns out it takes a lot more methane than a porta potty would have. And they had to duct tape all the air holes and cracks in the porta potty first to get a high enough methane level.

And I'd rather suspect methane than a bomb. Less ominous. But if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

Did anyone else read the story of the exploding porta-potty this past week? I swear it wasn't an Onion piece. Anything too unusual, I try to remember to check the source.

Why did that thing go blooey, anyhow?
