The following random story is true.  I don’t think I could even make up something like this.  I saw this in the news today…

A Chinese schoolmaster sold some trees around the school, then when some colleagues found out, he decided to cook dog meat for them to persuade them to not tell anyone.  (What a bribe, huh?)  So he got some friends to bring him two dogs, which he killed at the school; then he started cooking them and the meal caught on fire and burned down ten classrooms.  And then this tidbit at the end is funny, based on what an understatement it is :

The local education bureau fined the headmaster 10,000 yuan ($1,252) and suggested he be fired.

Yeah, I think it’s pretty safe to say he’s gonna lose his job over this.
