I'm surprised (and actually very glad) that no one ever found the story about the guy who died after putting his lava lamp on the stove and posted it on the board. I grew up with him since Kindergarten, played baseball together for 10 years, etc. For some reason he put his lava lamp on the stove, and it exploded, sending a shard of glass into his heart.
He was never the brightest guy, but it's still horribly sad as I see his parents around town whenever I go back to visit my parents. He has a little daughter (which prevents him from being a Darwin Award nominee, thank God) who I saw at his funeral, and it's just entirely tragic, even if it messed up.
