Reminds me of the time as a 20 something I tried to burn out the wood in a broken sledge hammer on a windy day and ended up desperately throwing a can of gas away…while diving in the opposite direction…just before the can was exploding into flames setting most of my front lawn on fire.

mark,
you’re a da,aren’t you?
it brought back memories of the time i was in a hurry to finish the lawn & grabbed the gas can & started pouring gas b4 the mower cooled off–
luckily it only caught fire but didn’t explode–
those safety warnings aren’t always written by lawyers trying to limit the company’s liability–

Dees ees daht German engineering zuperior teknikal know how. All ahthers theenk dey know, but dey only know gahrbaj.

My older brother got a brainstorm once, and thought he could make a lead doughnut, like the MLB batters slip over their Louisville Slugger bats for excess weight, during warm up.
He started cooking and melting a bunch of lead sinkers from the old man’s tackle box.
When it was molten, he didn’t have a form, and needed something to create the hole in the middle.
So he drops a small can of some solvent liquid, or whatever, into the center of the pot of molten lead.
You know what happens next.
The can explodes from the heated lead, sending molten lead splashing up in a quite horrific face wash.
He was about 12 or 14, and I was only 10, watching the Craftsman at work. I escaped injury, but
He screamed and started peeling the few splotches of lead from his mug, which of course took skin with it.
He dabbed the open wounds with Noxema skin cream, but lived to become a father of 3, and now a Grandpa.
I’m sure he’s taught his kids a few things NOT to do.
School of hard knocks and painful experience make the best teachers sometimes.
Especially during really dumb, ‘hold my beer’ moments of idiocy.
I love my bro, and we were just kids, but that was a bonehead move, there.

I’m just glad to see People of Color experimenting and pushing the boundaries of science for us privileged white supremacists.

Dumbass doesn’t even begin to cover it. Why not just stick a knife into an outlet? I have no idea how to build an electric guitar, but I sure as hell know its not just electricity and wire.

A Real Man Of Jeenyus (TM) right there.

Still, lacking substantial enough damage (third-degree burns over 90% of body; burning the house down; fatal self -electrocution) for even an honourable mention for this weekend’s Darwin Awards.

LMAO
Coming from an electronic systems specialist and hobbyist for years, I think this is funny as hell.
No thermal or current controls and it lit his ass up. Comedy gold!
