Maybe not such a great idea to go crawling down people's chimneys like the grinch. Luckily nobody could fit down my 6&7". Sorry to hear the kid had to learn a hard lesson with his life though

What's really sad is that the news reporter in the second link is snickering and giggling thru the report, especially at the part about the young man dying...

It would be nice if more of them were stupid enough to eliminate themselves from the gene pool and taxpayers purse strings.
