Looks like a battery problem to me?


Or, to be cynical for a moment, it could just be a case similar to the
"severed finger in the bowl of chilli" a year or so back.

Well I did wonder at the mentality of someone who discovers a fire and
thinks "Lets carry this burning thing outside onto the patio and film it",
when I personally would be thinking "WAAAH FIRE... and rushing to put it
out". But that's just me.

To be fair, they took it outside because it melted the carpet.

And there have apparently been forty-odd similar cases....

But I am starting to side with the cynical, here....
