The latest in the ongoing adventures (http://www.local10.com/news/loxahatchee-man-tries-to-blow-up-foreclosed-home-with-bowling-ball-deputies-say/33626288) of Florida Man;

QuoteLOXAHATCHEE, Fla. - A Loxahatchee man who didn't want a bank to sell his foreclosed home tried to blow it up using a bowling ball as an explosive, Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies said.

Deputies detained Butler after he left the burning home. As firefighters extinguished the flames, they noticed a bowling ball with a wick attached.

The bomb squad removed the ball.

Deputies said Butler told them he set things on fire in the home using a cigarette lighter, poured gun powder in a bowling ball and used a rope as a fuse.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he watched a bit too much Looney Toons while growing up.  Which makes this even more appropriate;
