Jedi fans petrol inferno 
 
By JOHN TROUP
and ANDY RUDD
TWO Star Wars fans suffered horrific burns in a mock battle with home-made lightsabers filled with PETROL.

Shelley Mandiville, 17, and Mark Webb, 20, made the weapons with fluorescent light tubes.

They filled them with fuel and washing-up liquid to act out a Jedi Knight fight scene from new movie Revenge Of The Sith.

They lit the liquid to illuminate the makeshift toys.

But it exploded — covering them both in the burning mixture. Firefighters discovered Shelly and Mark with serious burns after being called to woodland near Hemel Hempstead, Herts, on Sunday

Police were studying a video camera found at the scene. It was thought that a third person was taping the “duel” — who fled in terror when the disaster happened.

A local who visited the scene said: “You could see two fluorescent light tubes on the ground next to a badly burned area of ground.

“Police said the plan was probably to film what happened and submit it to one of these Jackass-style TV shows or put it on the internet.”

Police were waiting to interview Shelley and Mark, who were both in a critical condition in hospital last night.

I want the video.

Fuck me, I feel old.  I did this when the original Star Wars came out...

Minus the petrol, tho.

My brother and I got such a fucking leathering from the old man for it.  Those flouro tubes shatter into thousands of razor shards.

Cool.

Gives 'napalm death' a new meaning.

My brother and I used the curtain rods from our bedroom windows and I actually nailed him in the face. He was only 4!  :cry:  He still has a bitchin' 3/4-inch long scar on his cheek.  :evil:

God I've become really emoticon-happy lately.

You should have a cigarette. I am sure it would help.

Nice try, The Jesus. I already had to have a "do-over" last weekend. I was already thinking about smoking, so nyah nyah nyah!

Edit: With that new avatar of yours, I almost just wanted to bust out "Oh no you DEH-ENT! Bitch, I will FUCK you up." Princess Fuckyouup almost came out to play.
