    Serious moment:
    Don't know is "any" of you listen to This American Life, but a couple weeks ago they had and episode (#209: "Didn't Ask to Be Born") where this guy is recounting how he was afraid of getting in trouble for accidentally setting a locker on fire in school. His solution was to kill himself. By immolation. He obviously survived, but to hear his reflections on what it felt like and that moment of regret and realization of what he had done was one of the most disturbing and saddening things i've ever heard. If you're into experiencing those kind of stories, i recommend listening to it (it's the second half of the show).

    He used a bathrobe, which is what reminded me of it.
