Palestinian teen dies while working with explosive in Gaza Strip
2020-05-27
That whole red wire/green wire thingy is more dangerous when the trainees are colour blind, but even the Gaza Strip has shut down for fear of spreading the coronavirus, leaving the yoots with too much time on their hands...
[Jpost] A Paleostinian teenager was killed when an bomb he was working with went kaboom! in Beit Lahia in the northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip on Tuesday, according to Paleostinian reports.

#14  I'm certain there was quite a report.

"Junior's report card came in today."

"How'd he do honey?"

"Says here...80 decibels. Ugh, we had such lofty hopes."

#13  My favorites are usually 'too stupid to live', 'I never liked him (her) anyway', and variants of 'well, he won't be doing that again'. But snark of the day I'll have to remember - '...blow up too soon'. Situational, but perfect.

#12  Yeah, did "clock boy" finish his neurosurgery residency in Quatar or UAE or wherever yet? How much did the Obamas chip in on his tuition?

#9  Kids - they blow up so soon

That's Snark-o-the-Day material right there!

As for Erector sets, they're a gateway drug. Erector sets lead to Science, Science leads to Chemistry, and Chemistry leads to gunpowder. Eventually, your buddy blows off most of the meat between his thumb and forefinger which, in retrospect, meant our search for a better oxidizer was successful.

#5  Well, he won't be doing that again.

#4  Now if he had just stuck with the erector set he got for x-mas...
