He couldn't have bought his sweetheart a bouquet of red roses and a box of chocolates along with a hand-written love note to impress her? Stupid is as stupid does.

Just call it a hunch, but I'm thinking his life insurance is NOT going to pay.

How appropriate for death caused by a rapid oxidation of materials.

Once in a while, I have renewed hope for the human race. Then something like this happens.

Think of it as raising the collective IQ of the human race by..oh say 3.6 points, this is of course assuming he didn't breed.

Mr Barnes was described as a risk-taker with a history of harming himself and the inquest heard he had a short temper.

Too bad the bomb also had a short fuse.

Well the gene pool is a little cleaner today, that is, if he hasn't already reproduced himself.

??? This should *increase* your hope for the human race: -- whole point of the Darwin Awards is that here's one guy that won't be reproducing -- thus improving the gene pool. Avg IQ of the human race has just gone up -- and the next generation will be even more so. "Think of it as evolution in action" (--L. Niven)

I know, I know, it was cruel (and looking back I'm sorry for having done it), but as a kid, we used to do that to frogs...... but with a firecracker, not a pipe bomb of course.

And after his little stunt, I bet Kevin resembled those poor frogs.
