PWC Bursts Into Flames

A little-known fact is that The Three Stooges were among America’s first PWC enthusiasts. They are pictured here in a 1930s vintage Duzelburg XZFS2#@*4-HO PWC – one of the first to have an optional hardtop.

A personal watercraft burst into flames Thursday afternoon at Lakeside County Park
on Soda Bay Road south of Lakeport, California. The cause is still under investigation,
according to Kelseyville Fire Protection District Engineer Scott Crawford. The '80s-model
SX Kawasaki watercraft's fuel cap was missing, and a rubber band held a plastic
zip bag over the opening. The fire started when the rider turned the ignition. To learn more about this close encounter of a Stooge kind -- slap your mouse --
