One for the Darwin Awards - Student's jaw blown off by gum
Offline Ukraine - A Ukrainian chemistry student who had the bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it in citric acid, has been found dead with his jaw blown off.
The student's jaw was believed to be blown off by exploding chewing gum.
Officers found citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the 25-year-old's body, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.
Investigators suspect the student confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth.
I know its not funny but come on!

What is the draw to dipping chewing gum in citric acid? Does it enhance the flavor?
Sucks that it happened ~ bit off more than he could chew...

Theism is why we can't have nice things.
See? This is why we need gum control laws!
Oh you people are horrible
They have this new show in the states, probably based on public records of autopsies and police reports called "1,000 Ways To Die".
Some fucking moron had a running joke in his skyscraper office to run at the window and bounce off of it. He falsely assumed that the window would always be strong enough to contain him. It was suspected that his gold watch hit the window to make a micro crack that caused it to break, thus he fell to his death.
Another idiot used medical rubber tubing to tie a sausage to his leg, under his pants so he could show off how big his dick was at a local bar. Over the hours he had the TOURNIQUET on his leg, he developed a blood clot that went to his lungs and suffocated him.
Some potheads ran out of pot, and decided to pick random plants out of the desert to smoke. Unfortunately for them the ended up smoking a poisonous plant that killed both of them.
SAD, and it sucks that these things happen. BUT you cant help but laugh at the stupid things humans do to themselves.
UNRELATED to the show I just mentioned. I read a story about how a female waste water treatment plant inspector fell into a vat of human waste and drowned. Talk about having a "shitty day".

It wouldn't be as bad if he hadn't gotten himself into such a sticky situation in the first place.

The Darwin Awards are unavoidably funny. My favorite is the one where the guy used a bulltet for a fuse, which got hot, ignited, and damaged his reproductive capabilities beyond repair. He didn't die, but effectively removed himself from the gene pool.
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”
Also unrelated are "stupid criminal" stories. I read a story once about a home invader who tried to rob an old man. He locked the guy in a closet, but after he bagged up the loot, he didn't want the old man stuck in the closet, where he could die if he couldn't get out. Lucky for society this idiot didn't check the closet first. THATS WHERE THE OLD MAN KEPT HIS GUN COLLECTION! The old man held the guy until the police got there.

The problem was that the guy was chewing "Bazooka" brand bubble gum.

This is what I expect to happen to Michael Bay.
Poor bastard got lucky. Just think of all the chemicals he could have screwed up with as a chemist. Exploding face is better than melting into goo.
"Some fucking moron had a running joke in his skyscraper office to run at the window and bounce off of it. "
That's apparently semi-common. I've seen security videos of 2 different people making the mistake, and have read articles of 2 or 3 others. In the one I remember most, the seal on the window was 30+ years old and decaying, and simply insufficient to slow the guy down.

That person was obviously indoctirnated into dipping his gum into citric acid. I mean why else would he do it? I don't dip my gum into citric acid

I wish you knew how ironic it is that you're the only person here who doesn't get my argument.
Anyway, I smell a Mythbusters episode coming up. Speaking of which, they tested the bullet fuse a while back, and the best they could do was a potential bruise to the privates. The problem is this: In a gun, a bullet is severely confined, and the ignition of the gunpowder creates a lot of expansion in a very small space, which means a lot of propulsion. In a fuse, the pressure is dispersed in many directions, and there isn't enough force to give the bullet any significant momentum in a "bullet-like" trajectory. So, you just get a little pop of gunpowder and enough force to leave a mark on the skin.

I was being snarky, ya know I love ya
wouldn't this have become extremely uncomfortable long before such a drastic thing happened?
i mean, i know when i have to have blood taken i can't stand to have that tubing on even for a few seconds because of the tight, throbbing sensation.

that's what she said.
(sorry, couldn't resist.)
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

Oh, like Sarah Palin!
A couple months back there was a guy who robbed a family of some jewelry. He got caught the next day because he wanted to check his facebook, forgot to log off, and left it up on the family's computer.
