BLACKSVILLE, West Virginia (AP) -- A man smoking in a portable toilet
lit up more than a cigarette.

The potty exploded Tuesday when a buildup of methane gas mixed with
the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical
Services.

The methane didn't "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, she said.

Emergency workers said the man was not severely injured and drove
himself to the hospital after the stinky, smoky mess.
