Two hurt in mock light sabre duel:

Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.

Of course, you’re not eligible for a Darwin award unless you successfully kill yourself through your own stupidity.
