    If only that was in anyway some sort of truth... Extremely lucky the kid was awake or most of them would be dead right now.

    Those parents should wake up and smell the burning coffee, get some bloody smoke alarms fitted, or next time they could lose all 12 kids!

    I am being seriously serious

    "I was on this kind of important mission and I smelled something really funky - and I thought it was me - but then it wasn't," he told Kentucky’s WKYT. "I went downstairs and I saw the ... smoke and I was like 'Oh crap! That's pretty much a fire.'"

    He's a GOD....he managed to get expecting to have BO that smelled like a fire AND the word LIKE (without meaning "similar too") into a paragraph on (inter)National News, AND judge a fire to BE a fire....!

    Winner!
