It was a Category 3
Craig Ferguson has had his share of unusual experiences, including this past weekend when there was some sort of explosion in a bathroom at his home, causing him to call in a plumber to help clean up. As it turns out, explosions in bathrooms happen all over the place. In one kind of bathroom explosion, a can of shaving foam got out of hand. Apparently, it’s a big problem in Australia, where one bathroom blew up allegedly due to some illicit activity and another when a woman tried to kill a spider. Or maybe it’s specifically about spiders in bathrooms. A British man was injured trying to kill a spider in his bathroom as well. Next time you have to pay a visit to the little robot skeleton’s room, beware of the spiders!

Deep thanks to @MBsings @JimmyKimmel @CraigyFerg @JeffGarlin @BillBellamy @RealJeffreyRoss -Raised over 1/2 mil for http://SclerodermaResearch.org

They raised $515,000 to go toward research for the autoimmune disorder which affects an estimated 300,000 Americans, mostly women of childbearing age.
