Death by Lava Lamp
28 November 2004, Washington
We have a new Darwin winner, with the recent demise of a man at the hands of his lava lamp. “Why on Earth he heated a lava lamp on the stove, we don’t know,” said baffled police.

No drug or alcohol evidence was found; Philip Quinn, 24, in his right mind, placed a lava lamp on his kitchen burner and turned up the flame. In due course, he rediscovered this favorite explosive generator of deadly shrapnel. He was found dead in his Kent trailer home, a shard of glass through his heart.

I love the Darwin Awards. It’s great to laugh at other people’s stupidity. And I love this quote:

“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain
stupid.”
-Benjamin Franklin
