The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Some dude wasn't exactly thinking straight when he decided to climb into his chimney.

I don't know, maybe he was trying to revive the good ol' days of chimney sweeps, or perhaps he was practising to be Santa.

A man who was locked out of his house in this Denver suburb tried to get in by sliding down the chimney early Friday, but he got stuck and had to be rescued, authorities said.

The man, whose name wasn't released, fell about 12 feet down the shaft. Authorities said he was hurt but did not elaborate on the nature and extent of his injuries.

I want to know what possesses people to do peculiar things like that.

I mean, wouldn't you think it more intelligent to break a window rather than risk getting stuck in a chimney (and, who knows what else could have gone wrong by attempting the chimney thing - bats, chimney collapsing, etc.)?

Duh.
