KENT, Washington (AP) -- A man who placed a lava lamp on a hot stovetop was killed when it exploded and sent a shard of glass into his heart, police said.

Philip Quinn, 24, was found dead in his trailer home Sunday night by his parents.

"Why on earth he was heating a lava lamp on the stove, we don't know," Kent Police spokesman Paul Petersen said Monday.

After the lamp exploded, Quinn apparently stumbled into his bedroom, where he died Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

Police found no evidence of drug or alcohol use.

Maybe he didn't have an electrical outlet?

That's as embarrassing as dying on the toilet, right Elvis?

You have to be dead or no longer able to reproduce to win a Darwin Award

Oh well that works then, doesn't it?

 

[cantdog]

The idea is that dumbass is rewarded with failure to reproduce, provided the universe is just and the trend is upward.

Those are big ifs, by me.

The sad ones are like the dumbasses who give their seven-year-plds a four-wheeler to play on. They fail to reproduce only because they kill their children. Not so elegant.

I can already hear the lawyer for the idiots parents in court...

"Your honour, nowhere on the lava lamp does it say, "Do not place lava lamp on a stove top."

But now all lava lamps will say that.

Sort of like the: "Do not attempt to stop chainsaw with hands or genitals" warning.

I like the portable child seat I just bought for my daughter...

"WARNING: Remove child before folding seat!"

The scarry part is, every really stupid warning lable is there because some moron actually did that.

I went to a play a couple weeks ago and a large sign in the lobby read, "A cigarette will be smoked on stage."

Hey! I'm a non-smoker. Have no problem with other people smokingas long as I don't have to smoke with them. For some insane reason, I like my lungs and am a big fan of being able to go into places and know that they'll be in the same state when i come back out.

You wanna smoke - that's your perogative. But don't you talk about 'whiny non-smokers.' My non-smoking isn't going to poison you. Your smoking might poison me. Let's ask Roy Orbison about it.

Ditto!

 

[cantdog]

a cigarette will be smoked

So did they get summonsed for violating the law about such filth in a public space?

A sign explaining courteously that actual smoking will occur in the bar wouldn't deter them here. There are laws.

Whoa! Tell us how you really feel.

I'm an ex-smoker ... and just I avoid smoky situations. Internet makes that kinda easy, huh? Sex without second hand smoke -- or smoke while having second hand sex. Whatever floats your boat!
