The Human Torch

Pink ElephantI just couldn’t pass up this story. It’s just too nutty.

According to the Rapid City Journal, Marguerite Engle, 45, from Sturgis, South Dakota, was found, passed out, behind the wheel of a stolen delivery truck just off the highway. She submitted to a blood alcohol test and was released on bond.

After she missed her court date, she was found, passed out, behind the wheel of yet another stolen car. Thankfully, she was jailed immediately.

Now here’s where the story get’s blog-worthy. Her initial blood alcohol test returned the highest (by 40%) blood alcohol ever recorded in South Dakota, possibly in the universe. She clocked in at .708! Yes, her blood was almost 1% alcohol. That’s almost ten times the legal limit, and nearly twice what is commonly considered as lethal (.4).

This woman’s blood had as much alcohol in it as a strong, brewed root beer. It begs the question: How much alcohol percentage is required before human blood becomes flammable? Hmmm.
