I translated this story from Argentina. It's pretty plain that this fellow (27 years old, shoulda known better!) put powerful fireworks in his mouth, where they subsequently exploded. He lived long enough to reach the hospital, but I can't imagine he had much of a head left! Different enough for me to consider! Thanks!
