Some people really do need to be removed from the gene pool!
 ANdy  Star Wars fans burnt by petrol-filled 'light sabre'By Stewart Payne (Filed: 24/05/2005) A man of 20 and a girl aged 17 were engulfed in flames when a home-made Star Wars "light sabre" exploded and showered them with burning petrol. Mark Webb and Shelley Mandiville are thought to have filled a fluorescent tube with fuel to imitate the weapons in the latest Star Wars film Revenge of the Sith, released at the weekend. But their clothing caught fire and Mr Webb suffered 40 per cent burns. Firemen were called to woodland near Hemel Hempstead, Herts, on Sunday and found them on the ground. Police think they had been filming themselves. Last night they were in a critical condition at a specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/05/24/nsabre24.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/05/24/ixhome.html |

They were THOUGHT to be filming themselves?
Anybody check to see if a camera was present? When will Ogrish have a copy?

Vader: Stormtrooper, what is that painted on your body armor? Trooper Joker: A peace symbol, sir. Vader: Where'd you get it? Trooper Joker: I don't remember, sir. Vader: And what sort of armor are you wearing? Trooper Joker: Stormtrooper armor, sir. Vader: You're a Stormtrooper and you have a peace symbol painted on your armor. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke? Trooper Joker: No, sir. Vader: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you! Trooper Joker: Yes, sir. Vader: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the Emperor. Trooper Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of the force, sir. Vader: The what? Trooper Joker: The duality of the force. The Yoda thing, sir. Vader: Whose side are you on, son? Trooper Joker: Our side, sir. Vader: Don't you love your Empire? Trooper Joker: Yes, sir. Vader: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win? |

It wasn't any of use was it? Perhaps the UK crew should sound off just to make sure...
As to the banning of lightsabers: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/4574965.stm :( Lucky my Iaido Katana was lost in a boating accident the other week really.. /PHil |

It's been reported that a videotape of the 'incident' has been recovered at the scene by the Police… so I guess we are not going to see it on Ogrish.com.
 Clearly, the Force was not with them…  ANdy |

I'm trying to figure out how a tube filled with gas is a light-saber. They lit the end of the thing on fire or something?

Sorry to hear that... I also learned my lesson, recently about not bringing one's entire weapons collection to sea.
