I know that love makes people do stupid things, but this is rediculous.
To prove his love, a 38-year-old man set himself on fire before getting down on one knee and asking his girlfriend to marry him. . .About 100 people gathered to watch Todd Grannis perform the flaming stunt on Monday, which involved wearing a cape soaked in gasoline.
Grannis climbed a 10-foot scaffold, was set on fire and then plunged into a swimming pool, dousing the blaze. Emerging unscathed, he got down on one knee and proposed.

I am related to someone exactly this stupid. My brother was the guy who set himself on fire and dove from a 50' tower as part of the ski and diving show at a local amusement park.
I wanted that job when I got old enough, but sinus trouble made it impossible for me to make the dive. (And setting myself on fire and just standing there seemed like a bad idea.) So I got stuck being the one of the guys who did flips off of the ski ramp.
