Husband won't get off computer so wife sets house on fire

You too, Easton woman who allegedly set your house on fire because your husband wouldn’t get off the computer and clean.

According to WFMZ.com, 26-year-old Huma Khan of Easton became angry with her husband when he wouldn’t get off the computer and clean their house. So cops say she tried to set the house on fire, with her husband, their two children, and a house guest still inside.


"She walked out of the room pretty upset with him, said she was going to burn the house down and came back into the room with a rag that was lit on fire, showed it to him," said Lt. Scott Casterline, Easton Police Dept. "He didn't really take the action she wanted him to take, so she then threw the lighted rag on the couch." Khan then ran out of the house, leaving her husband, two children and a house guest to fend for themselves, police said. When officers arrived, Khan reportedly told them the fire started because she was smoking and fell asleep. The truth later came out. Neighbors said the couple have had their share of squabbles before, but they never thought it would come to this. "Definitely needs some help, and I hope they get it for her," said neighbor Patrick Smith. "I think she needs to do a little time or something at least."

But still. Half a percent of SEVEN BILLION is a lot of people.

All hail Temujin, a man who conquered the world because, eh, seemed fun at the time.

Pakistani, possibly.

Huma is a Muslim name, it means "Bird of Paradise" in the baby name books.

Unfortunately I can't post any that come to mind for fear of them being deemed "inappropriate".

I'm laughing though so that's good enough.
