By the time you're 16 or so you should just know better.

Guess they won't be hired as Special Effects techs by Lucas Films anytime soon!!!

(I thought the stupid only qualified for the Darwin Awards, if they eliminated themselves from the gene pool (died))??

Yeah. I think making yourself sterile due to said stupid act counts as well since you can't reproduce after that.

Correct. But those who nearly die are eligible for honorable mention Darwin awards.

Maybe next time they'll just try good ol' fashioned rotoscoping.

Heh- that one threw me, but google came to my rescue in a hurry!
http://www.google.com/search?q=rotoscope

I like the tingly sensation when I learn new tidbits...

It's interesting to note that most of the results of that web search show modern digital equivalents of rotoscoping, without actually explaining the original mechanical/photographic rotoscope system that was used by animators as far back as Snow White.

You know, before reading up on a few of the links, I thought rotoscoping sounded like something very un-fun that would happen at the proctologists' office.
