[Associated Press,Kincaid, W. VA] A man at a
party popped a blasting cap into his mouth and bit
down, triggering an explosion that blew off his
lips, teeth and tongue, state police said
Wednesday. Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the
blasting cap as a prank during a party late
Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D. Payne. "Another man
had it in an aquarium, hooked to a battery, and
was trying to explode it," Payne said. "It
wouldn't go off and this guy said, "I'll show you
how to set it off." "He put it in his mouth and
bit down. It blew all his teeth off, his tongue
and his lips," Payne said. Stromyer was listed in
guarded condition Wednesday with extensive facial
injuries, according to a spokesman at Charleston
Area Medical Division. "I just can't imagine
anyone doing something like that," Payne said.

I would bet any sum that we will be seeing that one in the Darwin awards.
People keep doing this? I used to have a photo of what happened to a soldier who did this. It tore his jaw in 2 right down the middle and both ends were hanging with the remains of a few teeth, dripping blood and fluids. The palate also appears to have been wrecked. Looked like something out of "Alien." People wouldn't want a .22 short going off in their mouth if they were drunk, why do they keep messing with something infinitely more powerful?
Let's close the Emergency Rooms for 6 months and eliminate a few of the above from the gene pool. Darwin was right, survival of the fittest.
And you want our tax dollars taking care of jerkoffs such as this bozo?????????????????
Ah, no I don't.
I bet they didn't write "do not eat" on it.
