Weirdest Stuff

Fire officials say a rooftop blaze at a Houston shopping center was caused by an out-of-control inflatable gorilla.

But wait, it gets better. District Chief Fred Hooker said a “blow-up doll” was on the roof, the doll inflated and landed on lights, causing the fire. (If those were his actual words — funny that ‘blow up doll’ was the best term a man named Hooker could come up with.)

Remnants of the inflatable gorilla were found on the roof.

The fire didn’t appear to be overly severe, and no injuried were reported. Two stores suffered minor water damage, and part of the roof had fire damage.

Kong meets his demise again.
