I want to feel bad, as I have done some Darwininan things myself. I cannot, however, as I would not expect anyone to grieve my death, were it caused by my own stupidity.

I guess you must have been cunning enough to evade Darwin while tempting ol' cranky bones.

I'm putting it on official record here: If I die by my own sheer stupidity in true Darwin award fashion, my funeral is to be a stand-up comedy show presided over by a clown.

Cunning though I may be, I have no idea what you are talking about.

I was more thinking along the lines of irresponsible stuff in cars, my dad using us as weight for the tractor blade, running chain saws when I was not strong enough to handle them, etc.

I mean, if someone on this forum saw that a 15 year old (around 140 lbs IIRC) killed himself running a chainsaw, would I get much sympathy?

I figure wither way I want to be shred up and thrown on the compost pile, but I think it is actually illegal. Never actually check this, but I would think with religious morals stuffed down our throat you cannot actually get away with using a human corpse as compost, even if said corpse willed it before they died.

That's kind of odd though, I would not think 12-19 volts would be enough to kill someone. Unless she dropped the whole power brick in the bath too LOL.

That must be a horrible site to see for the parents though, imagine that sight. The water probably still bubbling from the electrolysis and her body slightly starting to decompose (probably happens faster in water that's being electrified)

She was trying to plug it in. I'm guessing we hands + socket = 240V @ 50Hz of death.

And the bad part is she was in water that contained chemicals and salts from the soaps. Water is a terrible conductor, but toss in some salt and it becomes liquid death.
