    This is why I read Failblog

    An American student whose heart stopped after he deliberately electrocuted himself in a science class is suing his teacher for not warning him it was dangerous.

    Um...don't most people learn not to mess around with electricity at about the same time they learn to walk and talk?

      I electrocuted myself and I'm going to sue the teacher for it.

      Shows exactly the level of intelligence in his family.

        One could quite possibly argue that there was previous damage...

        I know of no sane person who would willingly pass an electric charge across their heart, and not be aware of the potential consequences.

          On the bright side, if the other students in the class didn't know not to do that, they do now, which should come in very handy in their future occupations.

            Possibly in the womb, courtesy of alcohol and drugs, I'm guessing?

              They are no longer accepting comments on the article, most likely people will keep pointing out how insanely stupid this kid was. The title should have read: "Let me sue someone because I'm a dumbass".

                As about 240 of the 250 comments on the article have done. With that sort of public reaction, he'd probably not want to have a jury hear his case.

                    I haven't heard of one either. However I think this is another example of the dying out of personal responsibility.
