Man Killed By Exploding PC
[H] reader Steven Peterson sent me a link to one of the most bizarre stories I have ever read. Some guy was killed when his computer literally blew up in his face. Investigators have no clue how the incident occurred but you know it is only a matter of time before overclocking is blamed.

"Ram Prasad had gone to take bath. He told us that suddenly he heard a blast and when he rushed out he saw the charred body of his friend and fainted," the officer said. However, the case has baffled the investigating officers.

Huh? How do they know it was an exploding PC? Could have been self immolation or spontaneous human combustion.

Yeah, because that exists.

I'd bet it's either a CRT gone very, very wrong, or a can of canned air and a fuckup.

It does; you just need some help. Such as pouring something extremely combustible on yourself and then ignite it spontaneously..

combine this with that story of the boy whose chair exploded and we've got one dangerous environment here. I guess I'll go and live in the forest where it's safe, aside from the exploding trees.

Exploding bears. Exploding ray mears (sheriff would like this one). Exploding big foot. The forest is a dangerous place.

But does an exploding tree make a noise if there's no one there to be caught in the blast wave?
