More natural selection at work

These kinds of things seem to come in runs

Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.

The pair were rushed to hospital after one of the devices exploded

My 7 year old son is constantly bugging me to "have a duel" with his toy light sabres. He's bummed out I won't let him see Revenge of the Sith, but it sounds a bit too violent.

UPDATE: sorry for the duplication. Blogger was down and I tried this both as a new post and an addendum before figuring it out. Blogger subsequently published both. Blogger is also why I'm fat and slow.
