I can just see that tank developing a leak, just as he presses the "fire" (no pun intended) button. Sprays burning alcohol all over himself...

Dead man.....

omg

Bet his parents are proud.  Bet the neighbors are pleased.  Imagine looking out your window and seeing that.

Looks young.

I wonder if we'll be seeing his picture in the paper soon.  Either for burning himself up -- this is what he used to look like.  Or for a rampage on his school -- this is what the quiet kid was working on before he went nuts.

All the education and support of the parents.  Nice creation here.

And he posts it on the web.  Smart kid here.

I find it a little disturbing.  I hope he's the only one hurt when he's creation goes wrong.

Distrubing.
