Rube Goldberg to the Rescue!

This story about a school fire and how it was put out reminds me a lot of getting a touchdown because a linebacker fell on a football dropped by his quarterback... not something you want to do regularly, but you'll take it:

Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran School teacher Linda Krienke says fire broke out on a desktop in her classroom around 1 a.m. Saturday, causing enough smoke to set off the school's alarm. But when firefighters arrived, they found only glowing embers on the desk.

The heat had caused a fish bowl on the desk to explode, and the water put out the fire, Krienke said.

Fish is fine, by the way. Go him!
