well- one of my favorite sites is the "darwin awards"
http://www.darwinawards.com/ where awards are always award postumously-- since winner are those members of the human race that have been kind enough to remove themselves from the gene pool.
some of the winner have done some very stange things-- ("amuzed" themselves by using a trash shute as a ride-- and gone head first down a shute-- only to land head first into a metal dumpster (skip)!)-- I also like the "honorable mention" group --(HM goes to people who survived their "ideas" --Like the one about the man who
1st cut a wasps nest in half with a chain saw (about 150 wasp stings) and
later--ie, after he came back from hospital emergency room-- decided to burn the nest-- so he doused it with gas (petrol) and then went to get a match-- the gas vaporized-- and he blew up the nest- and made a fire ball that burned off his eyebrows-- and gave him 1st degree burns on his face and hands..(this man started out to prune a hedge)
I can see how, in some peoples hands, even a tea cosy could be dangerous.
