that is quite the coincidence

Biggs, now that you're the Master Baker, can you "expense report" a light saber so you can cut and toast bagels at the same time?

[Tiny]

god don't I wish, our current method of slicing is basically a table saw turned on it's side with a chute for the bagels. And guess where I gotta stick my hand when it jams? Seriously.

[Max Power]

Yikes! Don't end up like this guy. (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/12/custard.finger.ap/index.html)

[mysterious bunny]

That is pretty weird

Biggs, you better start saving. The sabers on saberology.com (http://saberology.com) cost $300+.

That's better than the alternative (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005230662,00.html#dumbass), though: using flourescent light bulbs filled with homemade napalm.

Two suffer horrific burns in Star Wars laser stunt

ALEX MILLSON

TWO young Star Wars fans were critically ill in hospital last night after a homemade "lightsaber" blew up and showered them in burning petrol.

The 17-year-old girl and a man aged 20 were believed to have filled a fluorescent light tube with petrol before setting it alight.

However, their stunt went tragically wrong when the device exploded in their faces, setting their clothes alight and leaving them with horrific burns.

The horrific accident was revealed when firefighters were called out after reports of a blaze in woodland in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

When the crew arrived at the wood, the fire was out and they discovered the pair lying in agony on the ground.

The man is believed to have suffered more than 40 per cent burns to his body.

Firefighters gave the stricken pair first-aid while waiting for paramedics to arrive. They were taken to a local hospital and later transferred to a specialist burns unit in Chelmsford, where they remained in a critical condition last night.

Specialists said the burns were so horrific that each of the patients had only a 50 per chance of survival.

A spokesman for Hertfordshire Constabulary said investigations into the incident were ongoing to determine exactly what had happened.

The tragedy came just days after the sixth Star Wars film - Revenge of the Sith - was released at cinemas across the UK.

It boasts an impressive lightsaber battle between Ewan McGregor's character, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his fellow Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, played by Hayden Christensen.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha!

That's great.

I'm surprised they aren't suing Lucas for giving them the idea for a lightsaber.
That is certainly entertaining, though.
