From the stupid tragedy file: Illinois 14 year-old Carl Schultz, Jr. borrowed a relative's car and went off for a late night pleasure cruise sans seat belt. All seemed to be going well until he lost control, crashed, and was launched through the vehicle's sunroof 50 feet into overhead powerlines, which summarily drained him of his life. We genuinely feel bad for the kid's family, but c'mon, what the hell were you people thinking? There's a thin line between sympathy and relief that the gene pool won't further be polluted by a lack of common sense, and we're riding it right now. [Thanks to Hoodoo for the tip.]
