oxymoron of the decade

You know, every now and then you just find some wonderful stuff on cnn.com.

So Johnny Cash's old house burned down today. The cnn.com report gave a long history of the house, and then this tidbit:

"The cause is unknown, but Steele said the flames spread quickly because construction workers had recently applied a flammable wood preservative to the exterior of the house. The preservative was also being applied inside the house."

Flammable wood preservative? What? If there's one thing that is absolutely NOT preservative of wood, I would think it would be something that was...oh, FLAMMABLE?

Ring of fire, indeed...
