Man Dangles from powerline

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A drunken man in china had the bright idea to hang from a turned off power line. He did this for fifteen minutes before he fell to the ground. This was a high voltage line as well.

If I drank and did something like THAT every time I was in a bad mood, you could probably put up a website dedicated exclusively to the thousand deaths/near deaths of your humble servant! Thankfully, I have somewhat less egregious methods of cheering up... :-) Anyway, a bit extreme, I think! I'll vote to keep this one!
