you're thinking of a scald, first degree burns actually illicit some damage to the skin, a sunburn is a first degree burn, so theoretically if you covered the entire body in first degree burns, it would create enough of a shock to potentially kill the person...after reading the entire thing, i'm wondering if they mean 3rd or 4th degree burns, especially if he was in pajamas, likely polyester, which means making the burn worse
"(2006, England) The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who, uh, remove themselves from it...
Like two people, 17 and 20, who imitated Darth Vader and made light sabres from fluorescent light tubes. That's right, they opened up fluoresceent tubes, poured gasoline inside, and lit the end... As one can imagine, a Star Wars sized explosion was not far behind. One died, the other survived to 'fess up to their creative, but stupid, reenactment.
Darwin says: "Some moderators say 17 is too young, but I disagree. This one passes the "minors rule" because 17 is legal driving age. Old enough to pump gas is old enough to know not to light it." "
Wow. That's phenomenal.
