Do NOT try this at home

The BBC reports that two Star Wars fans are in hospital after their attempt to film a light-saber duel went awry. It appears our two nimrods were using fluorescent light tubes as their sabers. Not a bad idea, though prone to shattering and production of teeny, tiny sharp pieces of glass.

But our heroes were not content, and believed they would achieve a more realistic effect if they filled the tubes with gasoline.

And lit it.
On fire.
While holding the tubes.
In their hands.
They were correct, sort of.

I'm NOT making this up. Beeb story HERE, CNN story HERE.
