    The first time this thing killed someone was because they dropped a brick on it. The second time this thing killed someone was because they were fuckin around with it using a screwdriver

      Yeah reading the Wikipedia article, the drop is unfortunate but the screwdriver bit, what a fucking moron. And he regularly did this while others observed, like fuck me if you’re going to be a dumbass, be a dumbass by yourself, dumbass.

        Oh, for sure, the screwdriver was a “hold my beer” moment. The brick, though, I gotta disagree. While it was an unfortunate accident, we knew enough about radiation at that point to know even tiny accidents could delete you. Playing Legos around something I know could kill me in an attempt to ease it to the point of maybe almost killing me just sounds like a slightly better thought out way of asking someone to hold my beer
