i know he died and all, but seriously he died by getting stabbed with a shard from a lava lamp!!! i mean what part of "Do not expose to open flame" did he not get, and yes that is actually there in the warranty booklet thingy and on the lamp itself (i have 2 of them FAR FAR away from a stove =P) i guess he didnt realise that the water would boil on a stove and then explode!!! dumbass -_-
