Boy Nearly Killed Trying To Cool Xbox 360
Posted by XanTium | August 21 23:52 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From funtechtalk.com:
[QUOTE]
A 14 year old boy from Brevard, North Carolina was nearly killed Sunday while trying to stop his Xbox 360 from overheating.

While his mother was away the boy had taken the power supply and wrapped it in plastic and tape. In an attempt to cool it off, he submerged it into a pan of water with the cord still plugged in. The boy had regained consciousness by the time paramedics had arrived. He was taken to the Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard where he spent the night.
Aside from getting knocked unconscious the boy only suffered small burns to his right hand and foot.

Not to be evil or anything but thats why I hate modern day medical science... people who do stupid things deserve to be eliminated from the gene pool, not allowed to be saved and spread their seed.
