Today's idiot of the day is a guy from Wisconsin...who's name (fortunately for him) has not been released.

This bright fellow went to visit some friends and when he went to drive home that night he realized he didn't have enough gas in his SUV.

So did he stop at a gas station???

NO!!!

He decided to steal gas by siphoning some from another car....tasty!

The only problem is that it was dark out and Mr. Wizard couldn't see how much gas he siphoned into the can. So he used a LIGHTER top check. (Ah...brilliant)

And as you can guess ...the gas can blew up in his hands. He suffered some pretty serious burns to his hands and he was arrested for theft and negligent use of burning materials.

His mom must be soooo proud.
