The Can of Soup That Ruined My Life

Note to myself: 'Never re-heat cans'

Thank God u weren't the guy in South Korea

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- An exploding mobile phone battery apparently killed a South Korean man in the first such known case in this gadget-obsessed country, police say.

The man, identified only by his family name Suh, was found dead at his workplace in a quarry Wednesday morning and his mobile phone battery was melted in his shirt pocket, a police official in Cheongwon, 135 kilometers (85 miles) south of Seoul, told The Associated Press.

"We presume that the cell phone battery exploded," the police official said on condition of anonymity.

The official said the phone was made by South Korea's LG Electronics, the world's fifth-biggest handset maker.

LG Electronics confirmed its product was involved in the accident but said such a battery explosion and death was virtually impossible.

how insensitive

iogames, if I had been near the can at the time, the lid could have slit my throat when it it exploded... very scary!

OMG, I haven't laughed this hard in a LONG time!

Um, it's all fine and dandy if you wanna heat a can of soup, on the stove, IN the can, BUT you've gotta OPEN the can first. Or, like normal folks, use a small saucepan. They look like this:



Would it be insensitive of me to ask if I can nominate you for a Darwin Award? Or suggest you submit this on the site? http://www.darwinawards.com/

OH, and those textured ceilings really DO suck BIG time!! I used to have to clean them after fires when I was working as a Disaster Restoration Technician.

Let me make sure I'm understanding this: You placed a can of soup on the eye of the stove without opening it and didn't expect the result you got?

Didn't your parents ever teach you how to cook? C'mon man I was cooking eggs by the age of 6! Here I was thinking my buddy (who doesn't understand what pre-heating the oven means) was a poor cook...and a long you come with a story like this.

Follow your own advice...stay out of the kitchen.

This makes me want to set-up my "Brad's guide to cooking for lazy guys and stoners" site even more.

For more special effects, try putting it in your MicroWave next time.

Marco! :erm: Not very good advice to give to someone who would cook soup IN the can.
