Seems there is about one of these stories every 6 months or so. Why hasn't word gotten around? And you'd think that someone at the supply company would tell them, warning labels all over the...oh yeah, just making the case for Darwinism here.

A CHRONIC smoker blew himself up when he lit a cigarette while using an oxygen ventilator to help him breathe.

The 75-year-old man was admitted to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong on Sunday with severe facial burns after lighting up in his home while the ventilator's plastic tubes were still running to his nose.

The man relies suffers from lung disease, caused by his smoking, and relies on the oxygen tank to stay alive.

The South China Morning Post reported the man's doctor said the man knew he shouldn't smoke while the ventilator was going, but took the risk because his cigarette craving was so intense.

When are people going to figure out that oxygen is an accelerant and not a fuel - it simply aides in combustion.

But yeah, he's a dip wad.

^I keep trying to tell people that...energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. Heathens won't listen to me. Still...these things do go up way too often for alien lifeforms to consider the human species intelligent, no?

Oh man, they are out there and they simply tune to Earth as their form of a comedy channel.

No way they will be here for a long, long time.

I think they're waiting for us to develop the capacity for warp speed first. Then we'll get our first contact from the Vulcans.

First we need to get a grasp on the 26 dimensions that come from the Polyakov equation, then reduce them out of the bosonic string theory to a flat solution in 11 dimensions of M-theory, and finally drop that down to four space-time dimensions.

I already have the solution but I fear the government will kill me and take all the credit for it.

Personally, I prefer the alternate theory...silly string theory. Since I concur with Camus that life is absurd, it fits nicely.
