    Default What Happens When You Cross Star Wars And Idiocy

    This is just too fucking funny, sorry they almost died but they did deserve it.



    Two suffer horrific burns in Star Wars laser stunt

    ALEX MILLSON


    TWO young Star Wars fans were critically ill in hospital last night after a homemade "lightsaber" blew up and showered them in burning petrol.

    The 17-year-old girl and a man aged 20 were believed to have filled a fluorescent light tube with petrol before setting it alight.

    However, their stunt went tragically wrong when the device exploded in their faces, setting their clothes alight and leaving them with horrific burns.

    The horrific accident was revealed when firefighters were called out after reports of a blaze in woodland in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

    When the crew arrived at the wood, the fire was out and they discovered the pair lying in agony on the ground.

    The man is believed to have suffered more than 40 per cent burns to his body.

    Firefighters gave the stricken pair first-aid while waiting for paramedics to arrive. They were taken to a local hospital and later transferred to a specialist burns unit in Chelmsford, where they remained in a critical condition last night.

    Specialists said the burns were so horrific that each of the patients had only a 50 per chance of survival.

    A spokesman for Hertfordshire Constabulary said investigations into the incident were ongoing to determine exactly what had happened.

    The tragedy came just days after the sixth Star Wars film - Revenge of the Sith - was released at cinemas across the UK.

    It boasts an impressive lightsaber battle between Ewan McGregor's character, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his fellow Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, played by Hayden Christensen.

    One of my stepbrothers broke a tooth playing star wars with a lead pipe. He got hit in the face with a lead pipe. He came in asking my sister for some super glue so he could glue his tooth back in. Apparently he'd exposed a nerve ending.

    Wow...how did that even SOUND like a good idea? I get the visual of what they wanted to do...but dear god...all they did was make a highly unstable molotov cocktail.

    Apparently they never heard of the old Cold War-era lightbulb-filled-with-gasoline trap.

    I'm kind of at a loss as to what they actually did, did they fill up florescent tubes with 'petrol' , light them ' and then start swinging? so were the tubes actully lit and looking like lightsabres, were they at least smart enough to record this , I'd pay to see that
