Icon86 Life Support Machine unplugged because it was noisy

Allegedly a teenager in Germany disconnected the life support machine for the bed next door because it was "...too loud..." for them to go to sleep.

Needless to say they are now talking to police...

You're right, of course. It's just that every once in a while I forget myself and start thinking people are ok.

Are there still people who take ananova serious as a news source? Needless to say, it wasn't mentioned anywhere else.

Its ok. For pennance you must read 20 Young earth sites, and visit the websites of Fred Phelps, That dumb lawyer who sues every video game company, and 10 other miscellaneous pCm site for your viewing pleasure.

It will make you feel better about yourself, really.
