Less is more - unless you're up for pyrotechnics

Elderly couple set off kitchen explosion.

And closer to home, this...
Trini torches $400,000 house in bid to be rid of troublesome rats.
When police and fire fighters arrived on the scene, they found 41-year-old Carl Ramroop lying on the pavement watching his home burn.

Get the picture?
