Thousands of people die senselessly every year, but only a few have eliminated themselves in such beautifully silly ways that their demise earns them this not-so-coveted prize.
Seed reports on the latest crop of "winners", including the late Philip Quinn of Kent, Washington. On November 30th, 2004, for some reason, the 24-year-old Quinn placed a lava lamp on his stove. Maybe he was disappointed with its meager bubbling and hoped that a slow boil would improve the effect.
Quinn's plan literally backfired when the lava lamp exploded, sending a large shard of glass shrapnel through his heart. Makes one wonder if 70s peaceniks are concerned that their hippie-chic tchotchke has become an instrument of death and destruction.
Bummer, man!
