Not the Onion

For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.

Rules
  1. Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
  2. Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
  3. News must be current.
  4. Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

Leave it on your coffee table overnight then tell me it didn't melt.

As to why it "turned black" I'd assume it has something to do with the carbon in the hydrocarbon you're burning.
