Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, March 02, 2010

Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash. Roy Messenger, 50, evidently did not see the line and his urine stream served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.

Ouch!

I was waiting for this one to show up on the DR. What a pissy way to die. If he had only been a good driver. Actually, its a shame this doesn't happen more often. Its a good thing he hit the pole and not some pedestrian.

Finally!

A thread worth a link.

This picture of the guy's burnt pecker was just leaked by the medical examiners office:

If she doesn't make you glad to be alive then just die, OK?

"Don't whiz on the electric fence!"

What a way to go.

Why does it hurt when I pee?

No mention of alcohol in the news report.

Musta been one of them pesky new poles that jump right out in front of your car when you aren't looking.

I hate those.

Darwin awards anyone?

Didn't Mythbusters debunk this possibility? Blame them.

Urinating on the electric third rail of a train track can cause electrocution.

Busted

Although it is possible to electrocute yourself by urinating on a third rail, you would have to stand unrealistically close to the rail to do it. In most instances, a urine stream would break into droplets before making contact with the rail.

(This concept was tested with an electric fence in episode 14 and that version of the myth was confirmed. Distance is the key.)

To be fair they only tested an electric fence and a third rail not a downed power line.

Dumb way to die in any event.

RIP Roy Messenger.

Be Well.

I'm officially a Troeglodite, after watching that commercial.

Shock and awe.

Anybody seen Wisgod?

One less teabagger.

More like a peebagger.

Soemthing about "killing the Messenger....."

Go with the flow.

Dumb guy from Wa. Had to be a lib.

I imagine the last thing that went through this guy's head was, "shit, I hope I don't die with my pecker hanging out"

#21 or "Do I smell sausage frying?"

His last thought was probably, "Why am I having an orgasm now?"

Who should get sued?

Toyota??? Bad brakes?
The electric company for not making power lines safer?
The city for not having a sign posted saying "In the event of down powerlines don't piss on them"?
Apple Inc. for making those damn Iphones so distracting when driving.
How about Coca Cola since I'm sure he just downed a Big Gulp and t had to be their fault.

Maybe 711 for selling the Big Gulp.

Must be somebody elses fault.

His last thought was probably, "Why am I having an orgasm now?"

After reading this, my first thought was "this whore has no idea what an orgasm is".

......a shocking prick......

Darwin awards anyone?

Probably not.

Since he's 50 and "family members" were on the way to help him, it's likely that he has children.

Contributing to the gene pool disqualifies one from being eligible for a Darwin Award. That's why it's called a Darwin Award. Because the person who meets there untimely demise due to their own stupidity cannot have contribute to the further evolution or de-evolution of the species.

The guy must be a Clinton Democrat, not paying attention to which way his pecker is pointed.

Shocking, just shocking!

Darwin.

Anyone know if he was attmempting this at 88 mph from the window of a Delorean?

He could be back in 1956.

27 jiggawatts...

hope he had on clean shorts, you never know when you are going to a hospital or morgue.

What a thought.
Peeing one minute and he will in his next thinking moment suddenly find himself resurected in the judgment day standing before the universe to answer for his entire life. How embarassing..

Wouldn't want to be in his shoes.

Moral: before you eat, drink or pee, make sure your life is right with God.

This should not have been published, we could get copycats now all over the world.

I knew a guy once who hid in a pool room and pissed in a bucket of unstable chlorine. It caught on fire! We all knew who did it too. He came out choking from the fumes.

He just pissed his life away.

A real Whiz-Bang

Urine trouble now, son.

Always pee UP in an arc if you have to pee on an electrical line. That way the stream has a chance to break into droplets.
