This sums up my reaction right here. Kid drinks Gasoline to become more like the Transformers 724940

Quote :
This is one of those stories that gets passed from one friend to another by e-mail and twitter, and quickly spreads around offices. It almost sounds like something you’d read in The Onion, but the deeper you get into the story, the more serious it becomes. Who knows if its even true? The story is being reported by a bunch of international newspapers, which would lead you to believe so (but I’m still skeptical). Read on..



Shanghai Daily is reporting that a 14-year-old from Yibin in Sichuan, China has been drinking Gasoline for the last five years to become a “valiant fighter” like Optimus Prime. The youngster first saw the animated Transformers tv series when he was nine years old, and was so impressed that be “that he began drinking fuel on a daily basis to “obtain energy” and become a mighty warrior like the Transformers.”



The kids parents scolded the kid after he started smelling the gas in cigarette lighters, and later began to notice that the gasoline in their motorcycle had begin disappearing. They caught the kid in the act and locked the motorcycle away, but the boy started stealing gasoline from unsuspecting neighbors. After the parents learned that their child was drinking two or three bottles a day, they decided to take him to a hospital. The doctor explained to the boy that he would not gain supernatural strength, but instead now has mental disorders from the lead and a strong “gasoline dependence.”

“Since my son start to drink gas, his intelligence quotient dropped sharply and he couldn’t figure out addition and subtraction of sums within 100,” the father said. “Before that, he was a very smart boy, and he could even repair the television. But now he doesn’t know the answer of 7 plus 17.”

Can't believe this is real. But if it is, this seems appropiate:

If he'd have died, that would be a Darwin award.

Somehow, I find this difficult to believe.

If he drank gasoline, he probably wasn't all that smart to begin with.
Here's the Onion article they were probably thinking about:

Considering that he would have been nine years old when he started...

But still, you'd think most kids would be brighter than that.

It's not even as if Transformers ever used gasoline as fuel anyway. They always refer to it as 'Energon', and it's bright pink. And cube-shaped.

Giant robot: you're doing it wrong.

I'm impressed that he's survived this long. People die regularly from sniffing gasoline, much less drinking it. And it's also a fairly nasty carcinogen, so hello, stomach cancer.

He was a "very smart boy"? He started drinking gasoline because he saw robots doing it on a shitty cartoon! How in the blue fuck does that qualify as "very smart"?

I think 9 was actually when I entered my "yelling at the TV because all the victims on Rescue 911 brought it on themselves" phase. I recall seething hatred for the boy who tried to put out a fire with gasoline.

I was a horrible child.

Now, I tend to believe that was actually a bullying incident gone wrong considering the involvement of the other kids (although it still reeks of stupidity). For this case, however, the kid did it all himself and there's only him to blame. I have to wonder how the parents didn't notice sooner or put a stop to it.

Regardless, they better not put that kid near an open flame of any kind.

(And yeah, I might just call bullshit on this too)

I call BS. That much gasoline a day? Kid'd be dead. I'm going to have to see more sources before it seems any less fake.

ETA:
Quote :
Gasoline is not as readily absorbed from
the gastrointestinal tract as from the respiratory tract.
In adults, about 20 to 50 g can cause severe intoxication
and 350 g (12 oz.) can result in death for a 70 kg individual.
As little as 10 to 15 g (less than one-half ounce) may be
fatal in children. Symptoms of intoxication by ingestion of
gasoline can range from vomiting, vertigo, drowsiness and
confusion to loss of consciousness, convulsions, hemorrhaging
of the lungs and internal organs, and death due to circulatory
failure. Ingestion can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal
mucosa and can be complicated by pulmonary aspiration, resulting
in chemical pneumonitis.

From here. Total BS, that story.

Also, why would he start by sniffing? I find it conceivable that some (considerably younger) kid might drink gasoline (once) because the transformers do it. Do transformers generally have a sniffing habit? scratch

In the absence of Spotts on this thread, I'll call in the expert:



I don't believe that kid could possibly be alive drinking it on a "daily basis" for 5 years. Furthermore, even the most incompetent of parents would've surely have been able to stop him a bit sooner. How the fuck was he stealing "2-3 bottles of it" of unsuspecting neighbours a day anyway? Aren't they familiar with the concept of grounding someone?
