Rapaire, Essex in December has a notable shortage of hot sun! If you left it out until it dried (about August, I should think,) you might have trouble finding it again :-)

There is a record of a guy here loading cartridges from a barrel of powder whilst smoking a pipe! Burned to death, poor sod.
Predates the Darwin Awards, of course.

Predates bullets, actually. Much the same date as the Essex incident.
