They filled their light sabre with fuel? I have to wonder what their thinking was on that one...

I like the rather tenuous line given to justify linking this on a skinning website... kudos Brad

This reminds me of the kid who set himself on fire while his friend filmed it, for a presentation they had in a class. He suffered 3rd degree burns over a HUGE part of his body. They said they got the idea from a show on MTV called Jackass (heard of it, never seen it personally). I think the biggest thing that kinda got to me was the fact that they werent little kids. They were between 12 and 14. At that age, you'd think they'd be old enough to say "if I set myself on fire, it's gonna hurt".

*sigh*
