No, I'm not posting any photos of me in regards to the title. A man has to keep some secrets.
I'm referring to this news tidbit I heard on the radio earlier this week. A New Hampshire student and his family are suing his former teacher after he suffered a several electrical shock in shop class which stopped his heart and is claiming has caused brain damage. How did this happen? He clipped the wires from the demonstration electrical cords to his nipples and had one of his buddies plug him into the wall socket. His lawsuit claims that his teacher didn't adequately warn him of the dangers of the demonstration electrical cords.
The teacher resigned from the school. I suspect the kid had brain damage long before this incident occurred. I'm sure all electrical cords will now have warnings: "Do Not Attach to Nipples and Plug In! May cause death and/or brain damage!"
Another sad Darwin Award honorable mention.
