Ukraine - A Ukrainian chemistry student who had the bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it in citric acid, has been found dead with his jaw blown off.

 

The student's jaw was believed to be blown off by exploding chewing gum.

 

Officers found citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the 25-year-old's body, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.

 

Investigators suspect the student confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth.

He dunks his gum in citric acid?

I find that as improbable and rediculous as the fact that he confused such a substace, with something lethal.

Well, freak accidents like that do happen occasionally.

Unfortunate.

Is it wrong that I immediately thought of jokes about ridiculous 'Citrus Blast!' or 'Fruit Explosion!' flavored gum?

 

But yes, this is bad luck. Or perhaps an innovative suicide.

But I don't want to go among mad people!

Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here..."

Why on earth would he chew gum dipped in citric acid in the first place? does it add flavor or something? and you'd think a chemistry student would know better than to eat in the laboratory and confuse dangerous substances and end up consuming one or the other. just another precious human life wasted on carelessness.

tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:
But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.
That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.

Did he dip it in nitroglycerin or something?

 

I think he confused nitroglycerine (clear substance) with liquid citric acid. Citric acid is white in solid form, so it probably was clear in its liquid form. Why on earth he had nitroglycerin in the same vicinity as his precious gum-dip, I have no idea.

 

At least he learned from his mistake and won't dare do it again.

He's dead, so now he can't doing it anymore, get it....

 

Sounds like a job for Mythbusters.

Oh god, yes please!
