wildblue 7 #1 May 2, 2003 Kids - don't use a shop-vac to siphon gas. And when you're dealing with gas, try not resist the nicotine cravings... ------------ Washington Twp. man dies of burns Dayton Daily News WASHINGTON TWP., Miami County | A Washington Twp. man siphoning gasoline from a vehicle at his home died of burns Thursday after the vapors exploded. Christopher D. Anderson, 32, of 5670 Piqua-Clayton Road was pronounced dead at Miami Valley Hospital. A preliminary investigation suggested a cigarette or shop vacuum possibly used to extract the gas sparked the explosion, county sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Steve Lord said, noting that the explosion appeared to be an accident. No one else was home; a county dispatcher said Anderson called 911. Piqua paramedics were dispatched about 2:27 p.m. [From the Dayton Daily News: 05.02.2003]it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkvapor 0 #5 May 2, 2003 You know who is NOT getting a Darwin award? THIS GUY! Quote MOAB, Utah (AP) -- A Colorado climber amputated his own arm Thursday, five days after becoming pinned by a boulder, and he was hiking to safety when he was spotted by searchers, authorities said. Aron Ralston, 27, of Aspen, was in serious condition late Thursday at a hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado. Ralston was climbing Saturday in Blue John Canyon, adjacent to Canyonlands National Park in far southeastern Utah, when a 200-pound boulder fell on him, pinning his right arm, authorities said. http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Central/05/02/climber.amputation.ap/index.html Guy is freaking insane... what a figher... I think I would give up and die before slicing my own arm off... And check out that city name.. MOAB.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayhawkJumper 0 #8 May 3, 2003 Another good lesson: don't get in a swoop pond for a picture and then get the bright idea to ask someone to swoop directly over your head. And after all that, after you get the shot, don't flinch. I'm not saying this happened to me or anything, but I guess it could happen and it would kinda suck for anyone to have to get pulled out of 2 feet of water because they were unconcious.
