Who the **** has a smoke when they're taking a sh*t? Really, what the ****? He deserved it; he's just after some free money. Pay his medical costs and be done with it. Sh*t like this ruins our economy, not the President.

[BWare 0]

Whose economy? You're American, right? If so, our economy is ANYTHING but ruined. But yeah, these stupid things don't help :roll:

:bang: :bang: *vein pulsates in his head* Why the **** are these people allowed to live?!! BWare, we need to do some serious purging.

[chickendippers 1]

lol, if I was the company I'd sue him! His neglegence has cuased damage to their toilet facilities! And being a worker at a methane plant he should know the dangers of naked flames around gas.

 

Also, who's to say he didn't just try and light his fart

I bet he got the idea from Mythbusters...

he had to have jumped out. if it was powerful enough to throw him out, he wouldn't be sueing them anytime soon...

but my gosh though. I bet he made the hole there and lit the cig. Let's be honest here - if he's a worker on sight he knows how to handle everything on site. it's a requirement right? If there is a methane pipe UNDER (wtf.) the toilet, surely they were informed of this. I have no sympathy for this man if it's an accident, and i'm impressed if he actually gets the money out of it (especially if it wasn't an accident)

What an @$$ I hope they turn it around and sue him to smithereens. Idots like that dont deserve to live.

 

BTW money is never free. It comes outa somebody's pocket at one time or another.

[chickendippers 1]

I'm sure he will, American courts are just stupid...do they have jurys in these cases?

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Yup. And American courts are really really stupid. They take forever to get nothing accomplished. The old system duelling system was better in my opinion. All the stupid people who bring up this pointless crap would be too stupid to win, so they would die. And the world would live (supposedly) happily ever after.

In which case i applaud the guy for pulling it off XD; i hate him for ripping off the state but the fact he might actually get away with it is surely worth a handshake oO; it's like walking into a bank, stealing the money then coming back the next day and putting it all into an account then not getting arrested

[Luk3us 63]

Yea. Its kinda funny.. Its one of those Only in America moments..

I too have seen that episode. it was great. they put near enuff every highly flammeable substance they cud find and sprayed/pured it into a toilet and dropped a ciggarete in it. didnt work until they dropped a lit match down there. Good explosion, wasnt massive but it was impressive. All I can say is, only in america.

[Mina Synd 0]

but you saw it yourself, the amount of stuff they used in the bathroom and he still didn't explode out of the room technically. just kinda hopped into the air for a second and landed back on the toilet...

If there was really such an explosion to which this guy claims, to have an explosion big enough to knock him out the loo but not kill him is just not possible XD

Although the human body is durable, we've all seen the squishy moments before o.o

You're right there though - only in america... someone will probably try it in the UK now. Only difference is it will be some teenage idiot trying to get a laugh from his mates, not some guy wanting money... i'm not making another ebil-male ranting session - i know at least one guy who purposely runs into concrete walls for fun. hmm... Hey there's a point, everyone get a copy of the Darwin Award books and read through to see if you can find anything like this toilet story XD; besides the urban myth, there has to have been one real case before now

[dapperdan 0]

I've got the Darwin Awards 3 book. Can't find anything to do with exploding toilets but i found one of a plumber cutting through a gas mains pipe in an abandoned pub. ended up sending glass and roof tiles up to 500 meters awaytook three days to discover the body under the wreckage of the pub. btw, that was in austrailia.

[Acerz492 1]

:lol: Goes to show that kiwi's are better than the wallabies in every possible way

[Mina Synd 0]

Darwin Award books saved my life on more then one time XD; there have been days at school/college i've been invited to do something "cool" then discovered a story on that in the book.. hmm.. lets see... do i still wanna try roof jumping or firework paintball? NOOOO THANK YOU xD;;

[Acerz492 1]

Roman Candle wars are still the most fun things to do when you're drunk, or feeling particularly destructive and intent on harming your fellow comrades! :lol:

 

And Roof jumping isn't that bad...try bridge jumping! I aim to jump off Auckland's Harbour bridge one day.

 

Maybe I'm being a little too crazy...*shrugs* oh well.
