Romanian Florin Dan Munteanu, 38, hollowed out a copy of the book Les Miserable and filled it with broken glass, gunpowder and a battery detonator.
Why? Dan's wife moved back in with his mother-in-law after a fight.
Skulking with a friend over beer Dan had an epiphany. The 'friend' knew about a web site filled with instructions on book-bombs . The nefarious plan was cooked up over bread sticks and booze.
The bomb, the book, the package wrapped carefully in fancy paper and a bow would take out wifee on the first turned page..
But Dan didn't count on the mother-in-law answering the door.. Suspecting a son-in-law, mom opened the package. Ka-Pow!
Munteanu's mother-in-law, 52, lay in a hospital suffering serious blast injuries.
Munteanu and web pal arrested after the cops noticed the return address on the book-bomb. The 'misery' is Dan and his beer buddy making origami bombs and filling out coloring books in prison.
