I figured I'll add some stupid acts daily thanks to the Darwin Award website, which selects some of the dumbest people from news reports. Well here is today's Darwin Award.
"(8 July 2003, Moore Township, Pennsylvania) An unidentified 16-year-old boy was taken by surprise when a bowl of blackpowder blew up in his face, after being heated with a blowtorch. The inevitable explosion caused severe burns to his face, and he admitted to policer that he was suffering pain after the jarring incident.
He had first tried to light the powder with a grill lighter, but eventually decided a blowtorch would do a better job. About that, he was right: the flash was awesome indeed.
“He made a foolish decision and suffered the consequences,” said Police Chief Keglovitz, and this was not the lad’s first experiment with gunpowder. “He lost one finger,” a neighbor confided, to a firecracker accident a few years earlier."
