KENT, Washington (AP) -- A man who placed a lava lamp on a hot stovetop was killed when it exploded and sent a shard of glass into his heart, police said.
Philip Quinn, 24, was found dead in his trailer home Sunday night by his parents.
"Why on earth he was heating a lava lamp on the stove, we don't know," Kent Police spokesman Paul Petersen said Monday.

Police found no evidence of drug or alcohol use. Methinks they need to look harder...

"Why on earth he was heating a lava lamp on the stove, we don't know,"I seem to recall they had a tendency to "go bad"; the lava would stop flowing right. Maybe he was trying to fix it.
At any rate, is that the Darwin Awards committee coming up the driveway?

When I was in college, the night before graduation, stone drunk, I attempted to pan-fry a pseudo-chicken patty in butter on the stove in the student lounge. In trying to move it from pan to bun, I dropped the flaming red-hot sucker on the ledge of my ample belly. This prompted a blister four inches in diameter that, while I barely felt it at the time, was a painful howdy-do when I woke up the next morning.
Looks like I got off easy.
Kids, take it from your old 50sDad, Don't cook drunk!

Rednecks wouldn't own a lava lamp. Look to the granola pack.
