Nerd rage can be a powerful drug, as evidenced by a 16-year-old boy in Chile who recently stabbed his brother to death for turning on the PS3 without permission. 

The older brother, aged 18, infuriated his sibling when he turned on the console without asking, and was allegedly stabbed in the chest with a knife obtained from the kitchen. The youth would later tell police that things “got out of control” in what could be considered the “no sh*t” statement of the week. 

If charges are filed, the boy could face up to five years in prison, where he’ll likely find himself in a shower with plenty of folks who aren’t keen on asking permission.
