Kid almost becomes Darwin Award winner
triforcer \| 10:07 PM on 08.21.2007	5 comments

By cooling his Xbox 360's power supply unit in water... while he was using, but it's okay he took the precaution of wrapping it in plastic and tape. This should teach the kid not to listen to the internet ever again.

INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS
Get with the program, parents.

I don't know if I can blame the parents for this one exactly. As I read the story, she just went next door and left her 14 year old behind... not a big deal really. Unless the boy really got retarded and forgot something he probably should have known by now, I think it's just the boy not reading something right.

I'm sure if he told his parents first, they would of told him not to do it. That's at least what I think it would of gone... in my fantasy world named "Common Sense... now with more COMMON!"

bleep

he almost beat the game, the game of life
