Dudes, like I've always said, never put a smokin' hot bong down next to your lava lamp!
No, Darwin Award Candidates have to kill themselves before passing on their genes. This guy leaves a 15-month-old daughter making him ineligible for the award.
This falls into the category of:
"CAUTION: Do not stare into beam with remaining eye!"

LONDON -- Inventor Edward Craven Walker once said, "If you buy my lamp, you won't need drugs."
Walker, who died Tuesday of cancer at age 82, was talking about that blob-filled symbol of psychedelia, the lava lamp.
Inspired by another kind of "blob light" that mixed oil and water, Walker decided the lamp would be more interesting if the oil were thick enough to form sculptural shapes. He spent a decade developing his "Astro lamp" before he began manufacturing it in 1963 from a factory in southern England.
By the 1970s, the lamp had become must-have furniture for the funky fashion-conscious. But the lamps' success faded in the 1980s, and Walker sold the rights to Mathmos, one of Britain's fastest-growing firms.
Walker, who flew reconnaissance missions for the Royal Air Force in World War II, also developed an interest in nudism and owned a nudist resort on the south coast of England.
But the Singapore native will be best remembered for his lava lamp, which he believed had staying power.
"I think it was always be popular," he said. "It's like the cycle of life. It grows, breaks up, falls down, and then starts all over again."
Simply Mother Nature's way of cleaning the dead leaves out of the gene pool...
Send your lava lamps to Iran with instuctions to heat in camp fires.
Police found no evidence of drug or alcohol use.
That’s the saddest part of the story – the total lack of an excuse.
The last words of a redneck are: "Hey, Y'all! Watch This!"
How bizarre. A piece of glass deep enough into his chest to puncture his heart. (shudder)
People. Let's stop the jokes now and simply pray for his little daughter left behind.
There's a video link at that source too!
How long before MA institutes a lava lamp license? A license to purchase, own, or store lava lamps or accessories such as 40w appliance bulbs.
License will cost $150 (following satisfactory completion of manadatory lava lamp safety program; program costs $75 through local lava club) for 2 years; $80 renewal fee.
License does not allow carrying of lava lamps. CCL license (concealed carry:lava) is $250 application fee and annual renewal.
Neither license applies to Boston city limits, where all lava and other molten wax novelty products are banned.
Killed by lava ping.
I blame the stove.
I'll bet the first guy he met when he got to his final destination was the guy who used his wet/dry vacuum cleaner to purge his boat bilge.
Quoting from the article:
"Philip Quinn leaves behind a 15-month old daughter."
Automatic disqualification for the Darwin Award. You have to remove yourself from the gene pool before you reproduce.
Ping to hilarious thread.
