I’ve always felt that survival of the fittest is a concept that doesn’t have much weight in these enlightened times. Sure, sometimes you have to beat the other chap down to get ahead, but it’s nothing personal.

And then you see this. You see this and think “hmm, maybe some people aren’t meant to reach a grand old age”. And you may be right.

The link is a BBC news page telling us of some merry half-wits who fill fluorescent light tubes with petrol and light them. Read the article. It’s priceless.

The two who were injured were 17 & 20 yrs old. Presumably they both knew about the flammable properties of petrol. Presumably they both knew that glass isn’t always the most resilient of substances.

Presumably the human race would be better off without them.

I know that’s a really harsh thing to say but don’t you ever get the feeling that this is natures way of culling the herd?
